Fake Holiday Awareness Week

Jun 19, 2006 19:21

I am declaring this week Fake Holiday Awareness Week. We should be aware that there are fake holidays getting very little attention. Par example: nobody on my Friends list---a very literary bunch---marked the passing of Bloomsday, last Friday. I wish I could say I forgot it was Bloomsday, but no, guys, I remembered. Where were you? I was working. Two co-workers found that they couldn't attend an event on Friday night that they had planned, so I had to go to it. Before that, I worked a 10 hour day, and there was little time for idle posting or doing much of anything besides collapsing in a heap when I got home. Jimmy J. (as he was known to his nearest and dearest) is probably rolling over in his grave. I hope this dose of good-natured chiding will remind you to get ready for the next fake holiday on the calendar.

Besides it being Fake Holiday Awareness Week, it is also:
Carpenter Ant Awareness Week

Nursing Assistants Week

Appreciate Your Plumbing, Heating & Cooling Professionals Week*

Let's celebrate.

*I like the weak [week] double entrendre of that one: "Those professionals who plumb, heat and cool me . . ."
