To be a bit hurt by this?

I probably am, but I'm just feeling a bit hurt.

I work in an office of approx. 12 people. No one socialized out of work but we all get on really well in the office. For the past 3 office birthdays we've had, we've had cake and cards for the person in question.

It's my birthday today and I wasn't expecting a card or cake or anything like that, but I've not had a single person say wishing me a happy birthday. They'll know it is - birthdays came up in conversation on Friday and mine was mentioned, and we're all FB friends - I'm not a big FB user but mine buzzes me whenever it's a birthday for one of my friends.

I know it's not a major issue... I think I'm just feeling down as none of my family has said anything at all, and I've had no cards or anything through the post. I'm just feeling a little unloved.

I’ve always worked in schools and we bring our own cakes in for our birthday to share with colleagues. I suppose it depends what is normally done in the office and whether then three other birthday people brought in their own cakes or not; if theirs were done by others in the office then YANBU to feel a bit bothered by it.

We bring in cake for our birthdays.

Your colleagues are gits for forgetting. You need to point out somehow it’s your birthday. Be a bit PA!
