Forgotten Birthday Syndrome! I know it well. My husband's big birthday surprise for me was supposed to be ordering flowers to be delivered, but he didn't get around to it. That's fine because a) I don't care for flower arrangements and b) think the expense in having them delivered is ridiculous, so in a way he lucked out.
One of the only cards I got was from my husband's tacky aunts, saying they can't come to our party because they're going to visit my sister-in-law to fawn over her latest child and oh yeah, happy birthday!
I wouldn't care so much if I didn't put the effort I do into remembering other people's birthdays. So a happy birthday to you! I'll raise a glass of sangria in your name tonight.
Nah, not quite forgotten birthday syndrome, more like "depressed over getting a harshish rejection letter eight hours before the big day". I didn't end up cancelling the festivities, so hopefully I'll feel better later.
Yeah, that's not the best of news on any day but your birthday makes it that much less wonderful. Is it really needed for a rejection letter to even be mildly harsh? Isn't the rejection enough?
Happy Birthing Day! And sorry to hear you got a rejection letter right before your big day :( That sucks. But someday soon I bet you'll be getting an acceptance letter instead! :D
