Tomorrow October 17th is “National Boss’s Day”Maggie and I know who are bosses are and have our dead mice ready as presents. Our humans love dead mice or scorpions as gifts!
“National Boss’s Day” was enacted by Patricia Bays Haroski in 1958. Patricia was a secretary for State Farm and forgot the birthday of her boss!!! A big no, no with humans! She declared October 8th as boss’s day not realizing that her boss’s actual birthday was October 16th. In 1962 the Governor of Illinois Otto Kerner believed that boss’s day was a fantastic idea and backed Patricia’s original registration by officially proclaiming the day.
This nice holiday has been criticized in the U.S. and mocked as a Hallmark Holiday. However Hallmark did not offer a Bosses’ Day card for sale until 1979!
Other countries such as Australia, South Africa, United Kingdom, Ireland and India observe “National Bosses’ Day”. In fact, in India the bosses give their employees gifts on this holiday!
So Maggie and I ask, who’s your boss? You don't have to give them dead mice, but make sure you are extra especially good to them on Bosses’ Day!
Remember to Hug your animals!
