thanks folks! I've been having a mixed bday so far; it's becoming a birthday tradition of mine to be caught in the middle of some work emergency during it :) but now as the years go by and I become wiser I know that these are only emergencies of the short term, this too shall pass. Meanwhile I was gifted a nice watch so I'm very happy about that. Appreciate the wishes, you guys rock
