Today is my birthday, and I know the world doesn't stop turning just because it's my birthday, I replied. Besides, the clinic is closed on Christopher Columbus, George Washington and Martin Luther Kings birthdays, I reminded her. It is only fair to celebrate that I am still alive the day I was born.
Who among us hasn't needed a break from work? Don't get me wrong, I am not a workaholic, but I am always reminded by my supervisor how much unused paid vacation I'll have accumulated.
I return to work next Monday. I thought about running errands, hanging out with friends, riding my motorcycle on a trip, or spending the day in New York. Instead, I spent the whole day sleeping.
On the day I was born, I am writing a blog post about how I decided to spend my entire birthday in bed with my laptop, by myself, with enough snacks and food to sustain me the day.
Life's too short, so smile while you still have teeth ......
Happy Birthday, buddy!
ReplyDeleteOn my birthdays, I often struggle with taking the day off work; now I do it to reward myself for surviving. Enjoy!
Long time ago I realized that no one is indispensable, each and everyone of us can and will be replaced. If I don't take care of myself who will. Thanks!
DeleteI used to be a workaholic for more than 30 years!And I have never regretted it because my work was my hobby!Since I retired, I can take the time to stand and stare,
DeleteI thought I was going to retire two years ago. I am so used to working, I am afraid I wouldn't know what to do if I am not working.
