TO ALL THE BOSSES OUT THERE, HAPPY BOSS DAY!

"National Boss Day is Oct. 16, 2009

When is it? National Boss Day is always Oct. 16. In 2009, National Boss Day falls on a Friday.

Origin: National Boss Day was launched in 1958 by Patricia Bays Haroski, an Illinois secretary. Was she a mastermind suck-up? A person with an exceptionally wonderful boss? Or was she just a super-competent secretary whose boss added to her "to do" list: "Create national holiday in my honor"? Actually, she was an appreciative daughter who worked for her dad, whose birthday was Oct. 16. That's how National Bosses Day became the day to honor bosses."

Here's to great Dads!

Source for the above, lifted word-for-word from this website: http://www.almorale.com/calbd.html
Which conveniently lists ideas for BOSS DAY gifts ~!

AND, when I told my slaves - or workers - this, they each promptly declared, "That's not interesting at all!"
(*Sigh. There's no gratitude in the world today :)

One, who shall not be named, suggested I write an Editor's Blog to let off some steam, and, make a list of all the gifts I'm wishing for, so I'll feel less alone in my isolation.

NOW, it's never good to rely only on one source, this is called FACT CHECKING.
So, sure enough, the facts checked out on this site: http://www.holidayinsights.com/other/boss.htm
But, this site also reminds the lowly workers that BOSS DAY is a day when they can tell their boss what they think. It also gives pointers about what it is to be A GOOD BOSS!
