Birthdays should be holidays by law
-
Here I am on my birthday, adding yet more functionality into an evil old app that has been officially shelved and discontinued on numerous occasions (only to be ressurected when I least expect it.) Oh well, hopefully it's nice friendly modular successor will be ready some day... There should be a law against having to go to work on your birthday. Oh well, I guess I'll go out and get pissed tonight :-D -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

This is a test post to test whether people other than benjymous can post to this thread. If it has appeared, then obviously other people can post too, else only benjymous can post. Very elementary as you can see. Regards Nish

But if you didn't go to work, you wouldn't get all those cream cakes (that you have to buy yourself for all your work colleagues). :rolleyes: In fact, we used to have a tradition of going down the pub and buying everyone a pint on your birthday. That was OK when the company was small. However, eventually we were 40 people and it cost me 100 quid for all those pints. You're right. We should all get the day off work on our birthdays. BTW, Hull is definitely worse than running out of squirrels! :confused:

It amuses me that it's pretty much a straight 50-50 split between those two options, which implies that nobody is worried about a lack of clothespegs or what dark evils hide from us on the rear of the moon -- Help me!

BTW, I always thought about this: People should bring you stuff for your birthday not you bringing them cake. ;P Most of the time, they don't even say: happy birthday to you, really silly. I usually take my birthday off anyway...but bring donuts the next day.:-D "Don't just put an else statement here and there to make it work!"
