- same with Secretary's Day and all that other crap. Just when you think you are all done with all the Christmas hullabaloo around the workplace, this comes along...
Its bad enough you have to have little cake parties for people's birthdays where I work, its bad enough you have to exchange Christmas cards and worry about missing somebody, or offending somebody, and running out and buying a gift real quick for somebody because they got you one, but they have to throw in all these fake holidays too! It really ticks me off.
The only good thing to come out of this Valentine's day for me, is somebody left a helium balloon in my office, and with the helium I made a really good obscene phone call to my wife that totally faked her out. LOL
Other than that one bright spot, Valentine's Day at work is a total waste, and I'm about $20 dollars poorer as an involuntary participant in this bologna. Whoever suggested we reduce holidays to having Christmas once every four years really had a good idea.

Hehehe, My favorite is the suggestion that we start on easter sunday and end the following sunday with famous dead guys week! Everyone can celebrate his/her favorite dead person during this week ... the rest of us just get a week off (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

He's a lover, not a fighter.
Yeah, these "fake holidays" were invented and promoted by certain industries in the US (think greeting cards and florists) around the beginning of the last century; their popularity engendered other less successful attempts:
National "Go to the movies" Day
Grandfather's Day
Grandmother's Day
Stepfather's Day
Father-in-Law Day
The Day of the Unknown Father
Adulterous Lover Day
Gay Adulterous Lover Day
Tick-bitten Dawg Day
Favorite Prostitute Day
"That guy down at the VFW who's always drunk by noon" day
Personal Trainer's Day
the list goes on...

tick bitten dawg day and that guy at the vfw whos always drunk by noon.

We don't have that day here.

Valentines Day was, like Wedding Anniversaries, invented by Women in the hope that we would forget about it so they would have another excuse to make our lives miserable.
Like they needed another one, right?

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

I'm with Sunchaser on this one (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
