Birthday Rights



I had a contractor tell me the other day that it was his birthday and he had taken the day off so he wouldn’t be coming over that day. When did this type of thing become acceptable? Seriously, as adults, are we now allowed to use our birthdays as an excuse to not do stuff we’re supposed to do? What’s next? The half-birthday excuse? C’mon. Blow out some candles, eat some cake, go get a half-priced meal somewhere, listen to bad singing waitresses singing “Happy Birthday”, but please don’t stay home from work or other obligations ‘cause it’s your birthday.  

Actually, I do know what’s next. If their birthday is on a weekend, people will slide the birthday over the following Monday and take that day off. You watch. It’s coming.
