*Pouts*

So. I'm staying in DC for my birthday, but that's okay because I have a kickass present the night before: A ticket to see Placido Domingo's last performance with the Washington National Opera in Iphigenie in Tauride. I've never seen an opera by Gluck. They're box seats! I'm thrilled.

BUT -- on my actual birthday, Sunday, I have to work. No pay (although there might be approval for comp time). This is just awful.
