First Time To Go To Work on This Special Day.

Hahaha.. There is always a first time for everything!!.. H-A-P-P-Y B-I-R-T-H-D-A-Y ! ! ! ! ... You should be happy and be glad that many of your friends,families and relatives have remember your special day. Good health and many more years to come. Be happy and enjoy life. Love your work and always be a positive thinker all the time.

That's nice at least you've done something new for your special day. My birthdays are like normal day for me nothing special only when someone reminds me it's my birthday.

Hello my friend neildc Ji, Well, I hardly remember such day when I took leave from Office/work to celebrate this event, rather my hubby says taht one should do more job on this day. May God bless You and have a great time

I usually always work on this special day. Being self employed I have to work or else I do not get paid! Even when I worked for a boss, I still went to work as it is just another day. I always did something special on the closest weekend though.

So, it's your special natal day, Neildc! Enjoy the day, even if you have to go to the office. Your wife can cook spaghetti or pancit or better still just buy so she won't get tired. After office, you can share it with the family! We have a birthday leave here at the office. Usually, i would take a leave on that day. The next day, my boss would blow me out for it. I like having birthdays, even if it makes me older. Yeah, thanks for FB because we are able to greet our friends and relatives on their special day, since it reminds us of them.

I always book my birthday off, and my partners birthday. Even if we don't do anything special for it it's still nice to have that time to relax and enjoy your birthday without having to worry about work etc.

I hope your birthday went well. I usually spend time with my family on my birthday.

saw the birthday cake. glad you had a blessed birthday. with lots of cheers from family and friends. it's a plus point for facebook... it gives notices when a friend is celebrating a special day or event in his/her life. when i was employed, i never took a leave of absence or a vacation off from work. i usually just wait out for the weekend to celebrate. now that i'm doing a business and a freelancer for a few years now, i guess i can take more time off on special occasions. schedules permitting, i try to avoid working on my birthday. but if it can't be helped, then i'll try to do some lighter stuff instead and take it easy even for just one day. happy birthday again! good thing i saw it early this morning while i was still doing some work, just before i went to bed.

Happy birthday, Neil. I never got the day off for mine when i worked. I think everybody should.

Hi Neil! And greetings are still flowing here! Happy birthday again! When I was still working, I don't take a leave during those special occasions. I just spend the day normal in the office, but by the end of the day I should treat my office mates! haha I think that's already a tradition in our office that time, that whenever someone is celebrating her/his birthday, we should treat our officemate for lunch or snacks! haha but its fun!

I never took a special leave of absence for my birthday when I was working. I congratulate you and you are lucky to be able to do that. In my country, they give you so many days in a year for special leaves and I saved them to take he children to the doctor if needed and things like that. I have always celebrated my birthday the Saturday after it. Then everyone I love can come and be with me.

I'm one of the senior ones in the office so everyone knows my birtday. Luckily most of my birthdays falls on weekends so I get away with not having to give a treat to everyone but there were times that i reported for work and people just keep saying side comments for me to give a treat at a point that it's already annoying. The problem is, my birthday falls on a date a few days before payday so what's left in my pocket is just enough for fare and food allowance.

Funny, this topic came to mind as a potential discussion. Anyway, I guess I will still be able to go to work even though there is a special occasion like a birthday or an anniversary. I think it is a matter of practicality. Many bosses wouldn’t want to get a hold on working tasks just because it is a special occasion for anyone. I think that some bosses will relent but adults have already had this mindset that we put business before pleasure. Turns out work is business and whatever left is a pleasure.

I've just started working so I'm not sure but if my birthday falls on a working day I think will take a leave. I think it's like a reward for myself or a gift for myself. Hehehe. Anyway I commend you for going the other way. I hope I can have the same drivwe to work as you have someday.

hi happybirthday neil and many more of them. I am glad you got a l;ot of greetings from all your many friends. I have been off line until last night due to computer problems which my son fixed for me. I a m so glad t o be back here again.i have never takne a leave of absence to celebrate my birthday but now am retired so its up to me alone to celebrate myh birthday as nobody ever seems to remember it. lol lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear brother Thanks Facebook...hahahahaa... I guess this is the best thing about facebook, reminding us of birthdays

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Birthdays are something everyone always look forward to not because you're a year older but simply because another year has passed and you still continue to seize each day of your life. I love birthdays! I get to contemplate on things that had happened to me and things that I want to achieve more. I guess for your part, you can get to do all of this, plus having a party, after you get off from work. Don't worry, there's always a first for everything. You'll never know, something quite big is waiting for you at the office. Enjoy your day!
