So as I told you guys, I took off the Monday after Easter. WOOHOO holiday!
But I did have work on Friday. It was torture.
While I was there, I realized we need a LOT more federal
holidays. Because I need to be spending less time at work. How about these:
1. Valentine’s Day
Yes, it’s a pseudo holiday already, but it needs to be a
federal one.
2. The Day After Halloween
Two Words: Candy. Hangover.
3. National Cupcake Day
Self explanatory.

| It's a cupcake. |
4. Ash Wednesday aka the First Day of Lent aka Diet Kickoff
Day
Because this happens a lot:
For some reason, this bugs me. If you want to diet, diet.
Don’t use Lent to diet and act like you’re being a model Catholic! You’re not
“sacrificing” you’re trying to get a bikini bod by Memorial day! CALL IT WHAT
IT IS. Diet Kickoff Day. Let's have off work because it makes us all grumpy.
5. Fuck My Alarm Clock Day
The day after Daylight savings.
6. and 7. The first two days of March madness
 |
| Ugh. Kansas lost and fucked up my bracket royally. Not cool. |
8. National Baking Experimentation Day
Followed by National Food Poisoning Day.
9. Wine Day
 |
| My personal favorite. |
10. National Blogging Day
Everyone stays home and catches up on writing/reading blogs.
What do you guys think? Have any others to add to the list?
Every day is Wind Day for the homeless dude who lives in the alley by my work. And Cupcake Day is December 15 (no joke, look it up) it's just not a holiday.
ReplyDeleteI'd settle for going back to an actual 9-to-5 schedule. Somewhere along the line, some devious CEO figured out how to screw us all by saying an 8 hour work day doesn't include lunch. Now we all agree to be at our work for 9 freaking hours. Gimme my hour back, corporate dicks!
I could go for Wine Day. And National Blogging day.
ReplyDeleteOh, I completely agree! I could really use the blogging day today...can we make that happen? And can I eat cupcakes on blogging day, because now I really want one!
ReplyDeleteHow about cuddle with an animal day? Some days I need to do that for my mental health.
How about just a personal holiday where one can just pay homage to whatever she/he chooses to find important...be it chocolate or The Price is Right or finishing a good book
ReplyDeleteWine day would be the BEST DAY. Also, everyday is Fuck My Alarm Clock Day... I just still have to go to work :( x
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I LOVE this! I especially like the day after Halloween day and the Cupcake Day... oh yeah!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the laughs!
xoxo
You forgot Wednesday. Every Wednesday should be a national holiday.
ReplyDeleteI vote that Superbowl Sunday should be extended to a week long Bacchanalia. Also, employers and anyone waiting for anything to happen should expect nothing productive to occur during the entire FIFA World Cup schedule and during the Olympic games. I guess more official sports holidays are what I'm going for.
ReplyDeleteI think the day after Wine Day would need a day off, also.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see the fall back version of daylight savings happen every weekend.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain… I had Kansas too.
ReplyDeleteMy national holiday would be the Monday after the Super Bowl, just on the off chance my team is playing. Either I’ll be celebrating long into the night, or alternately pounding whiskey out of the bottle and slamming my head in the front door.
Everyday is a holiday for me. We unemployed are simply having extra long celebrations. Without money.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Oh YES, the day after daylight savings really does need to be a holiday.
ReplyDeleteOr we could just finally get rid of daylight savings. Whichever.
If we could have days off to watch eSport tournaments or play newly released games I'd be up for that.
ReplyDeleteBioshock Infinite has been slowly gathering dust for me. :(
You've got my vote on Cupcake Day!
ReplyDeleteYes to all of these, especially the day after Daylight Savings. Also, what about getting the day after St. Patrick's Day off? You can't expect us to stay up all night drinking ourselves stupid only to crawl into work the next day, some 3 hours later.
ReplyDeleteEveryday should be National Cupcake Day, but I would like to see National Nutella Day.
ReplyDeleteCupcake, Wine and Blogging day need to be implemented STAT!
