National Goof-Off Day

OK, all in favor of celebrating National Goof-Off Day, say aye!

Hey, quit goofing off and say aye!

This is a great idea, but why is it on a weekend instead of during the week? That certainly takes all the fun and meaning out of the day. It must have been some mean old boss who proclaimed it.

Unfortunately, there are fewer people out there goofing off on the job because there are fewer jobs and those who still have them are too stressed out wondering if they're next out the door. That's why there have been quite a few media stories on whether it's better to be laid off or to be a survivor.

It's become a cruel working world out there. There are some bosses who are gutless and heartless in how they deliver the bad news. Those who send it via email, SHAME ON YOU! Those places that bring in guards to escort people out like they're criminals, SHAME ON YOU!

And employers wonder why there is less employee loyalty nowadays! Duh!!!

I'm so glad I'm self-employed … though confidentially, my boss can be a real b-…

"Hey back to work!"

"Nope, it's National Goof-Off Day!"
