Yes. I am definitely misremembering the exact words but if anything it was longer than this. I am traveling but when I get home later today I will post a photo of it.
that... you just gave me an idea. i worked Receivables for a bit and we had so many stamps. I need some new stamps now. Three stamps. one, a generic "happy birthday! have a great summer!" one that says "oops wrong stamp" and one that says "Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the freedom fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey for whomever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya." with the strikeout stamped in
'promotion'? more like working harder for less than you're worth. 'graduation'? ah yes, 4 years of your life for minimum wage. 'retirement'? That's a good one. 'baby'? Hope you like coming in on 2 hours of sleep with one shoe on. Wishing you well, you're going to need it!
'tough times', you get the week off to cry, lucky fuck. Vacation to paradise, out for surgery/cancer/aliens bit your neck. Well don't you get all the luck?

A long time ago I had a stamp with movable letter wheels so you could stamp anything. It was probably just for dates though, and I don’t know how well the wheels would scale to the entire alphabet

Yes, but Andrea refuses to.

I wonder if we know the same Andrea...

My coworker and I shared a stamp that we got made for this purpose and it became something people looked forward to getting in their card, weirdly.
I think it said something like
Dear ______,
Happy Birthday / Anniversary (circle one)
You are such a _________ and __________ man / woman (circle one) and I hope you have a great day.
With utmost sincerity, Name
Something like that. I think I actually still have it somewhere.

There's someone at my work that has done this.
After people found out about it, they started skipping having her sign birthday cards

Working better than intended.

Aww man I'd be disappointed not to have her stamp my card

Office life hack right there.
Need a couple more, though.
Generic 'congratulations' for graduations, promotions, retirements, baby announcements, etc.
Generic 'wishing you well in these tough times' for deaths in the family, and get well soon cards, etc.

A stamp that's just a line so you can cross out mistakes and another with an apology for using the wrong one before.

Could also be congratulations depending on how they feel about the death

Need to switch those two stamps tho.

Oh my god. I found someone like me.

I mean, if the stamp had said, "It is your birthday" it woulda at least been kinda funny.
Apytele@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 114d
I draw small cartoons. It's a little horn / confetti if it's a celebration card and a dove holding an olive branch if it's a sympathy card.

Would a printed stamp work? Then it would be easy and cheap.

I don't think ordering a custom stamp is too expensive.
