Rant: Half birthdays or birthday weeks

[The Third Man]

Are you 8 years old?

No?

Then you don't [expletive] get a half-birthday or a birthday week.

I think this can be extended to birthdays period after age 21.

Associate in the office always takes time off around her birthday. She's in her mid 30s. I hate her.

The other stuff is annoying, but I don't see anything wrong with this.

It always comes with an announcement that it's her birthday week so she'll be out of the office.

My sister refers to herself as being 57 1/2. But then she has really never grown up. I don't recall anyone else over the age of 10 stating their age in half year increments.

I'm now 36 and 1/52nd.

Lipp's burden of proof is only a preponderance of evidence, not beyond a reasonable doubt, so I vote he is right.

The last time I tried to do something for my b-day was the year before last when I was 50. Planned on taking a day off, went to a Bulls game the night before with my son and started getting the phone ringing off the hook at the game. My new worthless boss told me it would be great if I could come in the following day for just an hour to take care of something. Well I'm not burning a vacation day if I'm coming to work, so I cancelled it. I was pissed.

BUT ... started a new b-day tradition. I come in late - 9:30 10:00 or so, park in the over flow lot, flip off the building I work in and then take a big shot of tequila.
