Today is National Boss’s Day. It started on October 16, 1958, because a woman was appreciative of the job her boss (who was her dad) was doing, so she registered Oct. 16 as National Boss’s Day, choosing it because it’s his birthday.
So why am I pointing this out? Apparently all she had to do was register it with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to make it a national holiday. If it’s really that simple, I want to register a few holidays. Let’s see… how about :
- National Slackers Day — where you’re supposed to skip work.
- National Restaurant Discovery Day — where every restaurant offers their full menu at half-price, thus encouraging everyone to go out to eat and to order more than normal (especially with appetizers and dessert).
- National Sleep-in Day — where all businesses open two hours late (and still let you out at the normal time).
- Weekend Savings Time — where a Monday is converted into a bonus Saturday, giving us a 3-day weekend.
I’m sure there’s a lot more good ideas, but this is a start. Feel free to add your ideas in the comments section.

Hey….you dont know me but I found you blog under tag surfer. Right on with the national holiday’s….my thoughts exactly! Besides it’s not like we employee’s get a national “employee day,” right?

Actually, yes. It’s known as Labor Day. I do like the weekend savings time idea. Monday is mostly a wasted day just getting over “restful” weekends anyway.

Holladay- The day for white honkies to wear wall clocks around their necks, cover their teeth in gold foil, buy a fedora, and rap about suburban middle-class life. All mad raps must end in “holla.” For example:
Mortgage and the cable bill,
Starbucks, I can’t get my fill.
A tall light latte that’s light on the cream,
Like my hot pockets, hot and lean. Holla!
It’s fun.

I’m all for the ‘weekend savings time’ (sounds so ‘legitimate’ as a holiday).
I think opening week of hunting season should be considered a holiday… don’t hunt? so what… sleep! 🙂
i’d also like to propose:
velvet day – everybody has to wear velvet
auto-upgrade day – this is like leap year & happens about ever 4-years.
on this day you trade in your old vehicle for a free new one.
‘monthly Free international travel day’ (no cost to go to your vacation destination…)
day of excess… you get the day off work &restaunts give you free appetizers, & desserts. and everyone gets free massage at the local spa
and lastly a ‘correct politically correctness’ day where the whole point is to NOT be politally correct… we’re constrained by this too much it is. On this day it’s perfectly acceptible to break wind in public and do all the other things that are typically ‘frowned upon’ socially…

I’m all about the time off work… my boss expects me to work like 40 hours a week… it’s crazy talk! All that work so interferes with my life…
Let’s start the Holladay… somebody get me a registration form… I’m gonna rap ’bout how my folks won’t buy me a new plasma HDTV. And when I get big bills from rockin’ the mic with my crazy-mad skills, I’m gonna install a big screen TV — in every room, for all to see. I’ll even put one in my bathroom, yo! Holla!
Important Crackuh
Well, I’m a white crackuh
I’m the wizard of words
and I got the best sound
that you ever heard.
I’m the lord of lyrics,
the duke of discussion,
the ruler of rap
and the king of cold crushin’
When I’m on the mic
I rock all night
’cause the rhymes I say
are out of sight
Ice man ain’t got
nothin’ on me
I beat the beasty boys
and run dmc
p diddy wish he had
what i got
i can rhyme so cool
i can rhyme so hot
so if you wanna bust
a funky rhyme
this important crackuh
always has time
yo! holla!

There should be a Fart Outloud Day. People need to get over the taboo status of flatulence. It’s a natural bodily function, people! I shouldn’t have to sit in discomfort all because someone gets offended too easily…
