Sometimes, the best course of action in life is to take the high road. Yeah, the boss is a jerk. But by NOT acknowledging the jerk's birthday, it would probably just make the situation worse. Whereas, if even the empty gesture of going out to lunch with boss and pretending to have a good time, at the very worst, the situation at the office doesn't slide down further.
And sometimes, once people feel that they might be "accepted", they occasionally lighten up. It's rare, but it does happen.
But JWB still gets to bitch about it with us of course!
