Tell Your Boss, It Is Valentine’s Day

Remind your boss that today is Valentine’s Day. Although you do not know its origin, you do know its current significance. Therefore, declare that V-Day should replace at least one of those stupid, absolutely useless Federal holidays.

You should get the day off with pay. You need the morning to prepare, the afternoon to execute and the evening to relax in the arms of your Valentine. Why do we treat this holiday as if it is a second class citizen?

My kids are awaiting Valentine’s day with anticipation rivaling Christmas! I can thank my wife for this tremendous family tradition. It is holiday about love for all family members. My sweet daughters are my Valentines. My youngest son even qualifies, although my oldest son recognizes his manhood. His mother is his Valentine and he treats her like a queen.

Tell your boss that today should be a holiday. He should send you home and repress the “bah humbug” that is on the tip of his tongue. Tell him that he too should go home and have a Merry Valentine. After all, it only come once a year.

If you cannot persuade your boss, then think about leaving early.

Have a wonderful Valentine’s day.

And.. please don’t be a dork and wear something red.
