Working on my birthday. - Punkstig - 28-06-13
I've never worked on my birthday until now, which the controller at work thinks is strange, I can't be the only one that takes a day off on their birthday surely?
Anyway I got a call yesterday with an option of a Manchester job, being self employed and payed per job it was something I couldn't refuse (about £180 and I live in Berkhamsted which is 30 miles north of London already!)
Besides all my relatives live in Birmingham so I'll probably pop in there on the way back.
So, working on my birthday or being payed to see the family? I think I'll Pitt the nicer twist on it, shame its raining though!

My birthday falls on the same day as my boss and his good ladies wedding anniversary, so we always have a shoot on that day then a party/ piss up for the guns and beaters.
Have a great day

I was working on a tunnel boring machine (Channel Tunnel Project) wiring up a PLC control panel in the head on nightshift.
It got just past midnight and I looked at my watch, told myself happy birthday and cracked on!

I try to have my birthday off, but was actually in hospital this year.
My parents bought me in a birthday cake and my cards, which was nice.
Having said that I was also in hospital all over Christmas as well, though they did let me out for Christmas Day itself but I had to be back in for 10am Boxing Day.

In a similar vein, before I retired from full time wok I'd struggle in if I was sick then take the day off when I was well enough to enjoy it :lol
Cheers

Happy Birthday Punkstig though I think this may be belated
When I worked for The Carphone Warehouse their employee contract allows you to take your Birthday off as holiday on top of any other standard holiday time you are given. If you have to work then you are given a day in lieu. It's pretty awesome... in theory... except I don't ever remember getting ANY of my lieu days back :|

On bithdays we bring food, wine, beer to work and celebrate with coleagues.
Then go home and repeat it with friends and family.
