This March the progression of holidays is entirely logical. First, on March 8th you have permission – no a commission to be nasty. It is the official Be Nasty Day after all. Crack those knuckles and let your little devil inside do the talking.
This holiday is just itching for a full out, dramatic reenactment of history’s nastiest scenes. How about scaring the family and co-workers by transforming yourself into famous royalty and ordering the executions of any who do not instantly do your bidding – remind you of the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland? A Duke with a malicious streak will get plenty of lowly peasants scampering to fulfill his every need. Any princess or queen will get similar treatment. Doesn’t sound too bad, does it?
For something simple and less dramatic, just put on those devil horns and have at your latest enemy. They’ll never see you coming. Even if they do, you can feign innocence and show them a calendar. We all have the right to celebrate our own holidays right?
Wake up the next morning and move down the logical pathway. March 9th is officially Panic Day.
So, were you cruel to that supervisor who’s been pushing your buttons? Now’s the time to panic. Maybe that cute little devil costume won’t give you a valid excuse. Maybe you just totally screwed up any chance of promotion or the rumored bonus. Gulp. Go ahead and panic, this is the day to do it.
You can come into work dressed as a clown and pretend it was all part of the build up. Or spread stories about your evil twin escaping from the mental hospital. Be sure to plant pictures of yourself looking a little off kilter throughout the office.
The thing is that when you celebrate Be Nasty Day on March 8th, you’re bound to end up ringing in Panic Day on March 9th and for good reason. Relax, it’s only a holiday.
Maybe Get Off Scott Free Day or Live and Let Live Day is just around the corner.
