October 16 is National Boss's Day

Post by 308Mike »

Some history of the day, and here's the wikipedia entry:
Boss's Day (also known as Bosses Day or National Boss Day) is a secular holiday celebrated[citation needed] on October 16 in the United States. It has traditionally been a day for employees to thank their boss for being kind and fair throughout the year. The holiday has been the source of some controversy and criticism in the United States, where it is often mocked as a Hallmark Holiday. Recently, sites like Hallmark have recognized the holiday with a contemporary spin.
I usually take my supervisor out to lunch. Having a good boss is worth a LOT more than many people realize, that is until you've have a bad supervisor or boss. I could be making quite a bit more money working other places, but having a flexible schedule and an understanding boss makes a HUGE difference when you have a chronically ill family member.

Tomorrow, I raise a toast to my boss!

Man, I'm just 25% less surly to my callers to celebrate National Boss's Day.

Does this mean I should take myself out to dinner after work?

Man, being a small business owner with no employees suck. I need minions to shower me with praise and gifts. Then, I'd yell, "Get back to work you lousy slobs! And Frank," Frank would be the new guy," You're fired!" :twisted:

That would rock!
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom,...Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you...; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
