^I try to take the day off work on my birthday, because I realized early in my career that I worked an unhealthy amount and needed an excuse to take a day off. It was my mother calling me and wishing me a happy birthday on my... 23rd or 24th?... that precipitated me doing so: I didn't even remember it was my birthday.
So, year after year I've had my birthday booked off, and I'll often end up working it anyway, but it's a good reminder to take some time off.
