Appreciative Persons Appreciation Day
I was listening to the radio this morning and I heard this commercial for "Nurses Appreciation Day". Which is all well and good except for the fact that they were suggesting you get "the nurse you know" a massage, time in the tanning bed, or a basket full of oils, waxes and candles.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, first of all there has to be some sort of sexism in there. Secondly I'm not even sure I would suggest getting your girlfriend that kind of stuff let alone your local nurse. I'm pretty sure Liz Nordburg (a young lady from my church who is a nurse) would be a little creeped out if I bought her a 25 dollar tanning certificate and Hallmark card, not to mention how her military fiance' might respond. That's one beating I won't be needing.
What if "that nurse you know" is a guy? I'm not sure I'd know what to do with a basket full of scented oils and cucumber melon candles. (Although I do love the cent of cucumber melon.) I am just glad we have a "nurse appreciation day" at all. I mean without it we might never appreciate our nurses. This appreciation day thing is fantastic. For all of those inconsiderate jerks, there is now a calendar full "appreciation" days, reminding them of all the little people.
Secretaries day
Nurses Day
Grandma and Grandpa Day
Mothers Day
Fathers Day
Guy (person) who flips burgers at a fast food restaurant Day
Teachers Day
Waiters and Waitress Day
Custodian appreciation week (one of my favorites)
Emergency Workers Day
Guy who squeegees your window at the gas station Day
Kids who hang out on the corner day (we can't forget what an important role in society they play)
Men who still live with their mothers day
I am still single at 30 so I guess I'm celibate day (which is also the same as Star Wars/ Star Trek- fan appreciation day.
So don't forget to stop by the Hallmark section in your local Kinneys. Right Aid, or CVS today.
And by the way Aug 15 is (this) Blogwriters appreciation day.

Watch the "single and 30" cracks ... you have a friend slowly approaching the age of no return. What about a Bald Jew Appreciation day?
mr. politically correct,, it's no longer secretaries day, but administrative assistant day.....yah, when i heard that on the radio i couldn't believe it!
Don't you love what lengths Hallmark will go to in order to make a buck or two?

but alas, i'm not . . .
