At first, only those on the cutting edge, the truly over the edge, knew the exciting news!
Then guys who can see into the future started talking
Pretty soon mysterious movie posters about coming attractions appeared.
People started talking!
People started talking!
Songs were written and auditions held in waterfront Parisian bars.
spokesmodel auditions drew candidates from far and wide!
Advance Reader Copies were a harbinger of exciting things to come!
then newspapers were filled with the story!
Men in fast cars carried the news hither and yon!
Hither being Brooklyn, where dogs howled. Anna and Rachel...well, yes, they howled too.
Yon being Utah,
where the news was yodelled from mountaintops!
The news didn't pause to rest, no matter how enticing the hammock!
The men in fast cars found Seattle Municipal Judge Adam Eisenberg willing to forgive an infraction or two for a good cause!
The news spread halfway across the world by noon;
Gary Corby reports Sidney is awash
in "Happy Birthday Suzie" banners!
By now, even the zombies were caught up in the fun!
Meanwhile, back at FinePrint,
it's a different story:
it's a different story:
"It's hard not to look sardonic when you realize
you've been in the biz almost as long as
your assistant has been alive"
"what Peter said!"--Stephany
"Hey I'm not that old!"
--Heather

Nancy and Joanna, being sweet, reminded everyone that
birthdays mean cupcakes!
Cupcakes!
That made everyone in the office very very happy!
Sara and Gina
"Queries, shmeries! We're ready to help
Suzie celebrate!"
"Queries, shmeries! We're ready to help
Suzie celebrate!"
Mer-Bear who lurks in Janet's lair
"I'm not afraid of the Shark!
Bring on the celebration!"
Judith "heck, the door can answer itself.
I'm in! Bring on the frosting!"
I'm in! Bring on the frosting!"
and as usual, Janet Reid was nowhere to be found.
Happy Birthday Suzie! You totally rock!
Your friends, your colleagues, your clients
and your doggies
all wish you a
very
VERY
Happy Birthday!

ReplyDeleteHmm... now beginning to wonder if Janet isn't an oldschool vampire and not able to be photographed.
ReplyDelete:-P
Happy birthday, Suzie.

I have never seen someone go quite that far for birthday wishes. Suzie, I've never met you, but I want to join in. May you have a happy and blessed birthday.
ReplyDeleteJanet, the Shark shows its welcome soft side. Awesome!!
I don't know you either, Suzie, but you must be an amazing and fun person to have all these people so eager and excited to applaud your birthday. Have a blast on your day, Suzie, especially with the musician in the Parisian cafe!

ReplyDeleteAwww, awesome! Happy birthday, Suzie. =)
ReplyDeleteSo, Suzie, just so you know, you crashed my computer with the hotness that was the pic of you and Chippendale Luc, which is why you don't have OS edits back yet. But I love you anyway! =) Happy B-Day!!!!!

ReplyDelete:-)

ReplyDelete(From Beth M)
I don't really get a feel for Suzie from these birthday wishes. It seems rather shallow, and I didn't want to read on.

Hooray for Suzie's birthday. Janet, you pulled together some serious cameos! Also, I finally got to see what Suzie's dogs look like - I have to say I was expecting them to be smaller and fluffier. Meh. Hope the cupcakes were delicious!
ReplyDeleteAwesome post! Happy birthday, Suzie! :)
ReplyDeleteA belated Happy Happy Boithday to Suzie! It's wonderful to see you have colleagues who love you so much.
