…Is what all employers should say but noooo… I get to spend my 25th birthday slaving away in corporate America. There should really be a law that allows everyone to get a paid day off for their birthday.
My co-workers were nice though. I got cookies and munchkins so I guess it’s not all bad!

I usually request the day off as vacation so I don’t have to work, but still get paid. 🙂

Yesterday was my birthday and I spent it working too! Even worse that it was a Monday and all my co-worker friends forgot. Byt my Fiance sent me flowers and took me out for dinner so that made up for it. 🙂

Having your birthday off paid would be so nice! But alas ….
My co-workers are nice when it comes to birthdays though. You get flowers and a balloon on your birthday and then we have a mini-party during our staff meeting each month for all of the birthdays that month (with cake, fruits, snacks, etc).
Happy 25th Birthday!

Thanks ladies!
FI’s birthday was 2 weeks ago and we both took a PTO day for that. Today happens to be our fiscal month close which means that even if I’m on my deathbed, I better find a way to get here. What fantastic timing!
Anywho, I’ll be sure to enjoy many a cocktail at dinner tonight!

Happy Birthday! To make you feel better, last year on my birthday I worked a double. 14 hours of work, on my birthday. Ugh.
