Conclusion

Writing 120 funny birthday wishes for my boss was a risky move.

I could have stuck to a safe “Wishing you all the best,” but where’s the fun in that?

Birthdays are a chance to show a little personality, sneak in some clever wit, and remind your boss that they’re human too, albeit one with calendar superpowers and a scary memory for deadlines.

If any of these made your boss chuckle, mission accomplished. And if they laughed and gave you a day off, then you’ve just won the workplace lottery.

Happy birthday to the boss, because even leaders need to laugh (especially at themselves).
