My birthday happened to coincide with a work meeting this year, but since we had a beach cleanup planned for the actual day of my birthday, I decided to take today off instead. After all, doing community service on your birthday? Can't buy karma like that. I might start that as a new tradition, it's a good feeling.
Random side note: today is the first non-holiday vacation day I've taken all year and of course, I racked up 6 missed calls and 7 text messages. No wonder taking vacation stresses me out. Baby steps though, next plan is to take a real vacation somewhere with lots of opportunities to bust out the DSLR.
In the meantime, I still found opportunities to get some practice in after our meetings adjourned for the day and during the beach cleanup.
