GO TO WORK?????????:confused:

I can't believe this woman at my job is actually at work on a Monday and today is her birthday:lol:

I mean who does that?? How many people on here have went to work when their birthday fell on a Monday? Or would you?

you get the day OFF?

what the heck, my birthday is on a HOLIDAY (sometimes OVERLAPPING holidays) and I still have to work.

No usually people put in for a vacation day ahead of time if they know their birthday is on a monday.

Back in the '90s, I worked in an office that actually gave you a paid day off for your birthday. Honestly, I don't even care about my birthday. It's just another day to me, and I don't mind working on the day even if it is a Monday.

If you like to celebrate your birthday or just relax on your birthday, you should ask your boss if you can get a paid vacation day. My old job from the '90s just automatically gave you a free paid day off on your birthday. But I guess that's rare.

I just feel that getting up and turning off a alarm should never happen on your birthday. But I guess that is just me lol

I always worked on my birthday, and so did just about everyone else in the office. We had cake for the birthday guy or gal. I know my husband and my father always worked, and my husband owned the business. I think it's the adult thing to do. Sorry Solomon.

Maybe I am the only one allergic to Monday mornings lol

when I used to work back in the 80s and part of the 90s, I used to work on my birthday every year, and so did a lot of other people, no matter what day it was on.

My birthday is next week and I'm working. I don't mind working, I just hope nobody announces it over the loud speaker. "IF you see Sara be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday" I don't mind getting a happy birthday from coworkers but it's weird getting it from random customers. :crazy:

I remember one year when I was working, they had a cake for me on my b'day. Then the next year; on my b'day no one even mentioned it!

I just thought your birthday meant

1. no alarm clocks
2. no being told what to do by supervisor
3. No traveling to work



It's your day to do whatever you want

I do. Unless I have something special planned and have requested a day off to spend it with friends, I go to work.

But why WORK on your special day? Wouldn't you want to do something else just for that one day?

Solomon, with your attitude I'm surprised you get outta bed ANY day of the week.

- as long as the remote works.

I just thought everyone took off on their birthday which is once a year. I'm shocked.

Now my birthday is on a saturday this year but you better believe next year when it falls on a sunday I will be taking Monday off:wave:

i don't know man - Saturday is pretty close to Friday, you'd better take that off this year just in case.

I never felt the need to take friday off since it's the last day of the week.

Whenever I could, I would request my birthday off weeks in advance. Some years that wasn't feasible, but I tried to roll with the punches as much as I could.

^ Same here. Unless you own your own company there's no guarantee you'll get your birthday off. You could always call in sick that day & hope you don't run into any co-workers. :lol:

I worked on my birthday once - never again. I thought I was being all noble and earnest. I guess I thought too that someone at work would make a big deal out of it (I was 21), but it was just another day to everyone else.
