First work anniversary meme questions

What can I write for a first work anniversary?
Mention a project you worked on together or a running joke the recipient will recognise. For your own anniversary, try a joke about counting the days or asking where the cake is. Add a short congratulations or thank-you alongside it.
What should I check before sending one to a coworker?
Read the full caption and look at the gestures in the image. The podium cartoon includes raised middle fingers, and some jokes mention getting fired or pretending to know the job. Choose wording that fits the person and who else will see it.
How do I make my own first work anniversary meme?
Describe your first-year situation, then continue to text-to-meme and edit the idea before generating. A card sends its suggested situation; it does not carry over the pictured file, and your result may use a different template.
