Birthday Business

My forty-first (gulp!) birthday is coming up on Monday. I've never understood folks who always take their birthdays off from work. Last year, I worked 14 hours on my birthday -- and it was on a Sunday! (I was in the middle of a trial. Fortunately, I got the previous day off, for my birthday party.) This year, I've got a couple of big filings due on Monday; so it looks like another busy birthday.
