We're So Cruel

Last week was Barber's birthday.  And as any true friends would, we decorated his cube for his birthday.


Except...we decorated it in a Tinkerbell theme. (Last year, we decorated it in a Hannah Montana theme.  It was his wife's idea.)

Some of the "wallpaper" in his cube

All this stems back to a nice little V-mail (video distributed by email) we produced a few years ago in which Barber was cast as the "Mentoring Fairy."  Yes, this was for work.  Yes, we got paid to produce, film, and edit a childish skit.  No, it was not my idea.





Anywho, someone came up with the genius idea to decorate his cube in a fairy theme as a tribute to his brief stint as the Mentoring Fairy.  And what's the easiest fairy to come by?  Tinkerbell!

It's amazing what you can do with a bunch of crepe paper, wrapping paper, and plastic.

The finished product

Carefully constructed "fairy wings" on the back of his chair

Blonde High School Musical hair extensions and accessories were also purchased

Needless to say, this whole display caused quite the commotion. I'm pretty sure Barber didn't get any work done, and I'll be sure to document that in his performance review.

Lots of visitors

"Amanda, If you weren't my Team Lead, I'd kill you.  But instead, I will smile for the camera."

But that's not the end of the festivities. Everyone brought lots of food in (including Potato Bake), and Andrea brought in a birthday cake.

A pink birthday cake. And we made him serve it.


Happy birthday, Barber!
