22 May 2006

Today is my birthday, but instead of having the week off, like I'd planned, I have to work all day and probably late into the night as well. So I would just like everyone to make a few sympathetic noises, pretty please.

Today is my birthday too. May 22 is obviously a great day for people whose names contain the word 'Jan'.

But I'm not at work. I went for a makeover at a salon today, and this evening I'm being taken out for dinner by a friend who couldn't make it to my little party yesterday.

But I'm sorry you're having to work and I hope you make up for it by treating yourself to something you really like or want.

I'm not going back to work til Saturday night. I'll make sure to do some extra relaxing and stuff for you.

Happy Birthday, and make sure to catch up on your time off when you can!

Happy birthday to both Jans!

EJ: makeovers are so much fun! I hope you have the best time ever!

JL: sorry you have to work but maybe it won't suck and maybe a miracle will occur that will let you out of work early.
