Happy birthday good sir. Hopefully knowing that all of us here love ya will make your birthday weekend seem a little bit easier to bear.
Don't feel too bad. On my 21st birthday, I was mobilizing for Iraq. As a ritual, I was pulled up in front of the company before the sun had risen and made to do push ups[footnote]Because it was my birthday, mind you[/footnote], but that wasn't bad. However, in the training cycle, it was Individual Movement Technique refresher day, meaning I spent all day crawling through sand, sprinting across sand, and getting pelted by paintballs from OPFOR. We weren't allowed off the post to drink, but even if we were, I collapsed on my bed right after my shower. I slept like a fucking baby, though.Mr Fixit said:And it has been pretty shitty so far. First off I had to go to work today & it has been a tradition of mine to take my birthday off, but thats impossible this year, so here I am. Today is payday, but my check is going to be shit because I missed a day this week due to being sick with my yearly cold I always get this time of year. To top the day off so far I just sandblasted my arm, which for those of you that don't know what that feels like, lets just say it hurts like a ***** & leave it at that. If today doesn't get just a little better I'm going to lock myself in my house all weekend & drink myself stupid. Ok mild rant out of the way....
Anyone else have a crappy birthday like that, or worse, or lets go the opposite route & talk about really awesome birthdays.
