Mondays are great for birthdays! Have friends take you out to celebrate on Friday night, a different group of friends take you out Saturday night, have brunch or dinner with other folks on Sunday day, rest a little Sunday night, and then make your co-workers buy you a cake and sing to you on Monday. Last year, I turned my birthday into a Hanukkah of sorts - seven days, eight nights of me being obnoxious and demanding some attention. And it worked!

hhahah, you know what else is an illusion? Your employment here.

Yeah!!!! Then I don't have to age this year

Mine's in a couple of weeks on a damn Monday. I truly share your sentiments on the whole crappy reality of a Monday Birthday.

all i have to look forward to for my birthday this year is going to dennys and getting free pancakes and a sad little hat with a string to put around my chin(s).

Anx said:

as long as one of these aren't involved...you'll be fine

shit I've been 29 for years!

I would totally support this. Mondays are THE WORST for bdays.

Thank you, Anxy!

Oh, I meant to say you'll have a birthday every Monday - and they'll count!

You'll be well into your 90s by the end of next year!

The un-leap year.

i propose you should be able to shave a year off your age every time someone says "lordy, lordy, look who's 40" to you on your birthday.

Anx said:

Oh God - I think I'd punch someone in the face if they said that to me. Plus, I'm only 31.

Is that an actual expression?

Sounds like when you ask someone for sugar and they say "No thanks, I'm sweet enough!". Yeah, you've said that for the last 58 cups of coffee I made you, twinkle toes.

HAHAHAHA!!!

Believe it or not. I'm pretty happy turning 40. A new chapter in my life. It's self improvement time. I also plan on doing more travelling.

YOU have nothing to worry about, Mister. I hope I have as much spunk and - wait a minute, I probably shouldn't use that word - and joire de vivre (sp?) when I'm your age. (And I don't mean that how it sounds, sorry).

I was the same turning 30. No big deal. Just a new chapter to explore.

And make sure you bring those travels over here!

I just realized my birthday falls on a Monday this year. What kind of crap is that? Even if I took the day off, it's not like I could whoop it up, because I'd have to be back at work on Tuesday. As far as I'm concerned, my birthday is already ruined.

So I think we should pass a law saying that if your birthday falls on a Monday on any given year, you just ignore it. You don't age that year. You party the weekend before, but your birthday gift for having a crappy day of the week for a birthday is that you just stay the same age.

I think this is a fantastic idea, and I ask for your support.

Thank you, that is all.

Couldn't you take Monday off and start a pre-celebration on Sunday that carries over to your birthday then you can work on Tues...with a smaller hangover than if you partied on Monday night
