I have taken it off in the past, but I have worked through it also. Guess it depends on what day my birthday lands on or what the plans for my birthday are. </p> <p>I generally don't celebrate my birthday so it's never a big deal to work through it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904651 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:33:46 +0000 rachiecakes 904651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sometimes but this year my birthday was on a Friday, so I took it off :) </p> <p>I used to work for a company that gave you your birthday off. Everyone thought it was so nice but we hardly got any holidays off and it was a cheaper way of giving employees a day off and not all at once, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904627 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:26:15 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 904627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, unless it's on a weekend. I was late to my own birthday dinner this year bc I was working late! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904626 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:26:15 +0000 TheReelDeal 904626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If at all possible, I always take my birthday off. I have a new job so I'm not sure if I will this year. a great tradition may come to an end, sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904612 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:23:54 +0000 plantains 904612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only if DH is available to hang out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904593 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 14:20:32 +0000 lindseykaye 904593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes.<br /> Usually no, but similar to @Foodnerd81, DH and I are 4 days apart. So this year we are headed out of town for the weekend and his birthday falls on a Thursday so we elected to take thurs/friday off, but then my birthday is the following Monday and we will be back at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904511 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:59:27 +0000 mrsjyw 904511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>usually yea, but this year it's on a wknd, and we're taking our family the week after :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904501 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:56:45 +0000 Bookish 904501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I always work.

We usually bring something in to share, but besides that it was a regular work day. </p> <p>It was nice, though, because the past three years I was out of town for work on my birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904305 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:17:46 +0000 Ash 904305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually take the day off (I only work 3 random days a week so it's no big deal to request it off) but the schedule came out veryyy early this year and I didn't get a chance to take it off. Which is okay because it's in the middle of the week anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904304 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:17:43 +0000 Smurfette 904304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! It is the beginning of the month, so I can't take off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904303 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:17:41 +0000 Foodnerd81 904303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends. DH's and my birthdays are two days apart, so usually we will take a day off for our birthdays, but it might not be my actual birthday, or his actual birthday. But, in general, I like to take the day off. No one wants to be annoyed by work stuff on their bday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904301 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:17:31 +0000 NeekieRose 904301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, never. But it's July 5th (Friday!) and being around the holiday a lot of people take it off so it works well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904299 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:17:16 +0000 T.H.O.U. 904299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I will be here Monday!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-work-on-your-birthday#post-904292 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 13:16:06 +0000 DillonLion 904292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never taken the day off for my birthday, but I know plenty of others that do! </p>
