New holiday

Post by Fist and Faith »

Today is Bring Your Sarcasm to Work Day. Yeah, it could be said that every day is BYStWD, but now it's official. April 9th.

Excellent! Although in some places it can be said that 'Sarcasm is one more free service we offer' already :D

It's not a holiday unless you get time off work.

I always considered it a holiday if it gave me an excuse to wear a funny hat to work, so that could be nearly anything really :)

Does "Work" include school, for us college-going folk? I'd love to celebrate this holiday too. :)

If this means official sanction of being sarcastic to customers/clients, I'm all in favour.

Sarcasm and customer service really don't go all that well together. :biggrin:

Everyday's a holiday for the unemployed.

You know, for someone who likes anthropology so much, it puzzles me that you seem to hate human beings so much. :?

We all hate people who don't agree with us Lyr - didn't you get the memo? ;)

I work in a call centre - everyday is already BYStWD for me. :D
