Hallmark Holidays

Post by ToplessRideFL »

I just got a message in my box here at work asking for a donation to the fund for National Boss Day.... Its on Sunday this year!

I am not a fan of Hallmark holidays... however rather than be branded with a big L on my forhead.... I'll chip in a few bucks towards the rediculous gift the "committee" will buy....

However....since a major part of the work force works Monday - Friday....Would someone PLEASE tell me why they would make Boss Day a Sunday?

Oh and in case you needed to know... Sweetest Day is tomorrow.... :roll:

I thought it was on the 18th, Tuesday. I have seen both actually. I don't think Hallmark knows when it is! :)

I just read this morning that it's always on October 16--so all those "celebrating" (woo hoo!) Boss's Day usually do it the Friday before or Monday after. Yea, Hallmark Holidays are really stupid.

I agree... Hallmark holidays are rediculous. :-?

But since my boss didn't do anything for Secreta... oops, I mean Administrative Professionals Day this year, no Boss's Day for him!! :lol: And Sweetest Day... pshaw!

Neither are on any of the 4 calendars here in the office either, so apparently none of them are from Hallmark or American Greetings!

In honor of bosses day. I will make a series of stoopid, idiotic decisions for no apparent reason and then enforce them on my family with weekend threatening consequences if not followed to the letter.


I'm sweet everyday, no need for anything special there :lol:

That's really sweet. BHA is the one that came up with the idea to come down and see me for Sweetest Day. He has the keets this weekend but he's driving down after work on monday to take myself and my best friend out to dinner for the occasion. What a sweetie.....shhh, don't tell anyone! :) :) :) :)

The WORST Hallmark Holiday is "Sweetest Day". Where the f*** did this come from?

When I was in college, this holiday suddenly appeared. I was dating a psycho girl, Lora, who one day was really p*** off at me. I couldn't figure out why. Turns out I had missed getting her anything for Sweetest Day.

I HAD NEVER IN MY LIFE HEARD OF THIS STOOPID "HOLIDAY". Yet I was given hell about it for 2 years before I finally dumped her crazy butt.

All holidays are Hallmark holidays. It's a conspiracy by the man to keep us down if we forget one.
