Happy VD Everyone!!
Today is Valentine's Day. I realize it's not actually Valentine's Day, but, this is the day upon which my husband and I have agreed to celebrate it. I'm not sure what's worse... celebrating a holiday created by greeting card companies... or celebrating it on the wrong day. Either way, I get to put on a nice outfit and go out to dinner. (I guess there's something in it for the restaurant companies as well.)
I don't blame the companies for wanting to invent holidays. I just wish that we could add our own. I'd like to add a "Take your Favorite Slacker to Lunch Day" or a "National Underpaid Graduate Student's Day". I'm sure I could find a way to cash in on both of these holidays.
While I was visiting Rome, I heard that the Romans had a buttload of holidays every year. I don't remember the exact number, but, I want to say it was over 200... and this was in a society without the added productivity of computers. I bet we could meet and exceed their standard if we all tried hard enough. I'll start with today... Today can be "Write a Bad Blog Entry Day". Or, for those who don't want to write a blog entry, I'm sure we can accomodate you with a "Write a Bad Blog Comment Day".
