Happy birthday. You walked into a room that already knows you catch the typo before the client did. We hope you get a week with fewer surprises.
Office surprise birthday lines for a coworker
Write an office-safe surprise line for a coworker that stays light and does not ambush them with a roast. A private funny note is not this. A team card signed in advance is not this. The spoken office surprise has to be even safer. Thank a public work habit. Wish them an easy rest of the day. Keep it under twenty seconds.
