National Sandwich Day : More
Birthday of John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Sandwich Day'. It celebrates the birthday of John Montagu, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, who's name it bears. I can eat a sandwich for any meal.
Tomorrow is 'domestic engineer' day. OK, it is really 'National Housewife’s Day'. Give them a big thank you tomorrow.
Tomorrow is also 'Cliché Day'. Since actions speak louder than words, I won't add any cliche's to this. Well, except that last one.
Tomorrow is 'Job Action Day'. A day set aside to evaluate your job and your satisfaction with it.
It will be a day, tomorrow, to thank all those who keep us on track and on time (or as near as we can get to it). Tomorrow will be 'Traffic Directors Day'.
We have an animal awareness day. It will be 'Jellyfish Day', tomorrow. I guess they need love too, but you can hug them, not me.
Tomorrow, being the first full day after the time change, it will be 'Fill Your Staplers Days'. It occurs on the days after the March and November daylight savings changes.
It's like setting aside a day to change your fire alarm battery on your birthday. You don't want to be caught off guard. Wait a minute. That is another cliche, isn't it?
Sit up straight and stop stooping. We have another awareness day tomorrow, it is 'Enhance your Spinal Stability'.
George Villiers once said 'Methinks I see the wanton hours flee,
And as they pass, turn back and laugh at me.' Time is fleeing. We can't stop it, but we can look back on it. Let's try looking at November 3 in the past.
