Well, I just got the call from work, 2nd shift for me today.
Normally, I love 2nd shift, it's my favorite to work...BUT...today is my birthday (28th..be quiet Sintik!), and I had plans for this evening...now they're all ruined *cries*
So...give me all your sympathy and wish my a Happy Birthday........here. Thanks. :P

Happy bday
If I was there I would work for you a couple hours so you could celebrate with your family and friends
Ah, sorry. Working on your birthday isn't any fun. I've had to work on the past two of mine. Maybe they'll let you off early.
This is also a prime example of why you shouldn't answer your phone when work's calling. :P
Edit -
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEDIE!!
Take the next year to try and lose a little of that darn responsibility. Just a little..not too much.
Have a wonderful one when you can!

I am not 30, I am 28 damn you SINTIK.
Just cause you turned 60 this year, doesn't give you the right to have your Alzheimer's "coveniently" kick in :P

Happy Birthday....ya should've laid the "Well it IS my birthday" line on them....Honestly I don't think employers realize how much employees value their personal time, especially for something like a birthday. Then again you can always use it in your favor somewhere down the road and remind them what they did on your birthday.

Happy Birthday first of all!
Now - preventative medicine: Make it a policy that no matter what job you have, you inform them when they hire you that you are -not- available to work on your birthday. Not even at double-time. It is not an option to them to call you, and you will not agree to do it. You will not be in town, you will be out of state, out of country, out of your mind, not available, period, end of story.
I don't work on my birthday. Ever. I also dress up for Halloween, and if my current employer says I can't, I call in sick and dress up for it anyway, and go grocery shopping in my costume. We all have our little quirks, that's one of mine. Never give in on things that matter most to you.
I'm also not available Memorial Day week. That's vacation time, no matter where I"m working or how much they're paying. I'll turn down a 50 thousand dollar a year job if they tell me that I have to work that week if I want the job. It's my time, and no one's gonna take it from me. That time is priceless and can't be bought.

Happy Birthday, Weedie! Sorry about the work thing. That really sucks. Hopefully, though, you will be able to make up for it at your earliest opportunity! :D

There are a few pockets of mud and silt around Mesopotamia, in the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates that are older than I am, Skirmisher. Not many.

ROFLMAO You guys are cracking me up!!
Really, thank you all for the birthday wishes and non-working advice..LOL. It does suck cause I had plans and it would have worked out nicely if I had to work this morning (like I thought would happen) but...you know, I have a great job, make good money and I love my co-workers...so...I really SHOULDN'T be complaining. I'm just..a spoiled brat, you know? :P
Anyway I am ONLY 28, and I think it was wrong for Sintik to post that picture of the woman he's pursuing (who's 10 years younger than him, btw) saying it was me. And LMAO Peam broke out the pic of the JAZZY (that's what they're called and I *knew* that..OH GOD I REALLY AM GETTING OLD *cries*)
Anyway, uh..yeah I went off in left field there but thanks again I really appreciate it, it was sweet and I'm feeling the love..heh...okay now you all can make fun of my lame ass for feeling warm and fuzzy..hee
