Be Electrific Day – Today we honor
the birth of that great inventor, Thomas Alva Edison. Without whom,
we would still be using candles. Well, probably not because someone
else would have eventually invented lightbulbs so that it would be
easier to work all night long and annoy your wife.
Pro Sports Wives Day – Wives play an
important role in the personal and professional lives of professional
athletes. Of course, husbands do as well so I wonder if there is a
Pro Sports Husbands Day.
National Shut-In Visitation Day –
It's important, especially in the wintertime, to remember to visit
people who are, for a variety of reasons, unable to leave their
homes. Make sure they are ok and just offer a little companionship.
Many times shut-ins lead a very lonely existence and you have the
power to make them a little less lonely.
Satisfied Staying Single Day – You
don't need to have a significant other in order to lead a fulfilling
life. Some people are perfectly happy to be single and that's
certainly all right. You shouldn't feel like you're letting people
down just because you're not looking for someone to spend Valentine's
Day with.
White Shirt Day – This day honors the
men and women sit down strikers at General Motors in 1937. They
helped the United Auto Workers union become strong enough to be in a
position to negotiate for the auto workers. The strike ended on this
day in that same year. These are the rules of White Shirt Day: You
must wear a white shirt; You must not allow your shirt to get dirtier
than your boss's shirt; You must follow all safety and work rules.
Sounds like fun!
Clean Out Your Computer Day – Always
on the second Monday in February for reasons that escape me. It was
started in 2000 by the Institute for Business Technology. It's going
to be a big job so you better get started.
National Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk
Day – You've heard the saying a hundred times, and you still are
not listening. Don't make a big deal over a small thing. Unless
it's happening in your new car, or on your new couch, or...
National Make A Friend Day – You can
never have too many friends. So make a new one today. Who knows,
maybe it will be a friendship that will last your whole life.
National Peppermint Patty Day –
Refreshing, minty and not too high in calories or fat or so I hope
since it's one of my favorite treats.
Well, today I've got your clothing
situation figured out, you can thank me later. You will be wearing a
white shirt today and since everything goes with white, it doesn't
matter what else you have on. Then while you are eating breakfast
with your children and they spill milk all over your presentation
that you worked on for weeks, don't cry about it. Once you clean
that mess up, you can spend a good part of the day cleaning out your
computer, which you can see thanks to the lights you have which are
thanks to Mr. Edison. When you take a break for lunch, seek out
someone you don't know well and make a new friend by sharing some
peppermint patties. If you are single and your friends are forever
trying to hook you up with some loser, tell them to back off today
since you are happy to be single. On your way home today, stop in to
see a shut-in, to whom you can also share peppermint patties. Then
you can finish up your day by watching a professional sporting event
and spending your time trying to pick the wives out of the
spectators.
