Dear Mike Cares, how would you answer this Dear Abby? *case of the factory birthday mishap

DEAR ABBY: Throughout the year, the department in which I work recognizes each employee's birthday with a cake -- except me. I have worked here for two years, and while my supervisor writes my birthday on a calendar that hangs in the front office, each year my birthday has come and gone without even a verbal acknowledgement. I watch as all the other employees in my department have their special day recognized with a cake brought in by the department supervisor.

I'm wondering why I was even asked when my birthday is and why it was written down if no mention is even made of it? My co-workers are all friendly with me, and I have never gotten the impression that I'm not liked, but I can't help but wonder if something I have done has caused this. If this isn't something that is done for everyone, then it shouldn't be done at all. Am I just being immature because my feelings are hurt by this? Would you say anything in a situation like this? I would appreciate your feedback and advice. -- EXCLUDED IN ALABAMA

DEAR EXCLUDED IN ALABAMA: Well, right off the top a few things come to mind, as birthday cake celebrations at work are concerned, I assume you either work at a a big cartoon chocolate factory or you are mentally unstable and work in one of those special needs factories that turns out “retard made” products you find at every Dollar store. Either way, I think you are far more delirious than simply assuming people like you, let’s face it, you have been there two whole birthday years and the only cake you get to eat is that prepared and presented to the well-liked employees. But, seriously, your feelings should be hurt, and the next time there is a birthday party perhaps you should throw one of your co-workers into a big dangerous factory machine, this way they will always remember that this birthday party was ALL ABOUT YOU!
