National Blueberry Pancake Day –
One of my favorite breakfasts. Fluffy, soft pancakes filled with
blueberries and soaked in maple syrup.
National Kazoo Day –
Celebrating 164 years of kazooing. Kazooists are nothing if not
flexible so they say you can celebrate today or any other day that's
convenient. http://nationalkazooday.com/
Data Privacy Day – This is an
international holiday with the purpose of encouraging everyone to
think about their data and how important it is to keep it safe and
private. Check your privacy settings today.
Thank A Plugin Developer Day –
This is a relatively new day declared by Matt Mullenweg when the
WordPress repository passed it's 4,000th plugin. It is
now an official WordPress holiday because where would WordPress be
without the hard work of it's plugin developers. Celebrations should
include looking at the plugins that you use, find the author's
website and contact them with a little note to say thanks for their
hard work. You could also choose to donate some money to them to
compensate them for their time.
Clash Day or Mismatch Day – My
oldest daughter celebrates this every day but she's a bit of an over
achiever. The rest of you might have some trouble with the concept
of making sure your shirt doesn't match your pants which shouldn't
match your shoes or your socks or anything else for that matter.
Christa McAuliffe Day – On
this fateful day in 1986, Christa McAuliffe and six other crew
members of the Space Shuttle Challenger died in an explosion shortly
after the shuttle launched. She was a teacher who was supposed to be
the first teacher in space.
National Daisy Day – This
is a day to celebrate the beauty and cheerfulness of the daisy. We
don't have any daisies blooming here at my house in the frozen tundra
of the northeastern United States, so I'll have to content myself by
looking at pictures of beautiful daisies.
Fun At Work Day – This is a
day to have fun at work. Work is not usually something you think of
as fun but it is what you make of it. Find a way to incorporate some
fun in your work day today with your co-workers, whether they like it
or not, which is part of the fun!
Rattlesnake Roundup Day – Most
places no longer round up wild rattlesnakes and this day has become
more of a wildlife festival than an event to buy or sell
rattlesnakes.
To celebrate today, mismatch your
clothes and send your favorite plugin developer a thank you. Then,
bring a rubber rattlesnake to work and have some fun fooling your
co-workers with it. Liven up the workplace by playing your kazoo for
your customers and serving them blueberry pancakes with a daisy
centerpiece on the table. Make sure your data is safe before you
leave for the day. Tonight tell your kids all about Christa
McAuliffe and the rest of the crew of the Challenger.
