I meant to reply to it yesterday, and again this morning, and...well, you see where that got me.
I wholeheartedly approve of taking your birthday off work! (Which I will not be doing, thank you freelancing.)
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

But you can wear jammies and a tiara without getting any weird looks - Kato doesn't judge! (At most he'll heavy sigh).

Wait, I'm supposed to wear jammies and a tiara on my birthday? Crud, I've been doing it all wrong

Our wings are not tired.
My birthday was a school holiday when I was a kid (before Monday holidays) so I have pretty much always taken the day off. I continue the tradition.

I have to run errands (and probably go out for a birthday meal) on my birthday, so jammies will not be the order of the day. They also would not fly in my office. Steph works in her living room, jammies are totally appropriate office birthday wear in that context!
Tiaras...well, not that anyone in my office would be surprised to see me in one, per se, but I might feel judged. In my living room? Tiaras hell yeah!

I like to take my birthday off because I like an unreasonable amount of birthday attention (see tagline; I'm pretty sure it was the last time I had to work on my birthday that led to it). If I'm working on my birthday, I don't get that attention and it makes me sad, or cross. So I take the day off, and mostly don't see much of anyone except family and servers, who do all remember to tell me happy birthday. And my petty little childish heart smiles.

My birthday is in the summer and the day before a holiday. So, I believe in at least several days of celebrating around my birthday.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I have actual plans this weekend. Yay, social life! (One of my work friends is having a cookout.)

Always Anti-fascist!
I like OkC but there are still messages I get where it's like "Have you met a human?" Sometimes I've chatted with faraway people just for fun/practice.(I have sort of a fling going on with someone I met there, but it's not...a love story, you know? Kind of shallow, actually.) But I didn't do that at college.

That's work attire for me. Well, some days. Difficult authors require the tiara.
