Even if it is just "felix sit natalis dies" (Happy Birthday). That way it looks like I took the time to think of something pithy or profound, and it gives them that whole "what the heck does that mean?" joy.MJenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761003604210840898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460560150678644486.post-84556298818955148772009-06-29T20:50:43.628-07:002009-06-29T20:50:43.628-07:00That's funny.

Just those two simple words. It worked really well, except for those "condolence" cards when someone died.... but for birthdays, retirements, promotions, anniversaries, holidays, etc., it was just fine. And he never spent more than 3 seconds thinking and signing a card.<br /><br />Perhaps this will work for you, too?<br /><br />P.S. I'm here by referral from Fancy Schmancy.

When I worked for a much larger organization I had to sign one of those group cards at least once a week and I ended up just signing my name and feeling like a schmo. I also hate office birthday parties. It's the singing of "Happy Birthday" that does me in.
