C’mon ladies, let’s break the glass ceiling. American Business Women’s Day recognizes the value and contributions of women in the business world. The roots of this September 22 holiday go back to the late 1940s. While men were off fighting World War II, women filled the void in the workforce. Overall, they performed well in a previously man’s workforce. The returning soldiers found the women eager to have their men return. But, many working women were not anxious to return to traditional roles in the home. Since this time, women’s roles and contributions in the workforce have grown and evolved.

Currently, women are found in virtually all career fields, from top corporate officers to the Vice President of the United States. However, compensation and promotion still lag behind men in many areas. So, let’s put an end to this discrepancy.

Ladies have a Happy Business Women’s Day!

Did you notice that people seem to be overly engrossed with their cell phones and their busy lives nowadays? We seem to have forgotten our manners. Good social behaviors, politeness, and respect are lacking everywhere you look. Nowadays, many people skip the simple things like saying please and thank you. Having good manners and being polite, have taken a back seat at work, at home,e and on the Internet. Yes sir, Bring Your Manners to Work Day is today and has come along at just the right time. All industries and professions celebrate this holiday. It definitely applies to you and everyone in the workplace without exception.

 Bring Your Manners to Work Day exists to remind us of how important good manners are at work. This applies to both employees and the “boss”. Here are a couple of examples: You want a day off and you say to your supervisor “I want to take Tuesday off.” You’ll get a much better reception if you say “May I please take Tuesday off?”  How many times have you heard your boss say something like “Get me last week’s sales report.” You’ll likely do it quicker, and your moral will be better if the boss says “Would you please get me last week’s sales report?” Saying please and thank you is a basic example of good manners and should be used everywhere. Using good manners at work reaps significant results. It helps to build good working relationships, improves morale, lowers employee turnover, and increases productivity. 

Be Late For Something Day is a great day to be a procrastinator. This September 5 holiday is an annual event. If you are among the millions of us who never seem to be able to stay on schedule, then you will certainly enjoy today.

Being late for something is a common occurrence. It’s caused by a whole host of reasons. Some are intentional, some are not. Fall behind schedule early in the day today, and you will be late for everything that follows. Doctors and lawyers are notoriously late for something….their appointment with you! It’s proper to be “fashionably late” for parties.

Important Note: We hope you thoroughly enjoy and participate in this day. But, whatever you do, don’t be late for dinner!

WARNING: Heads will roll! Certainly, you’re level-headed. You’ve got a good head on your shoulders. So, keep it there. National Beheading Day is today. On this September 2 holiday, hold onto your hat. And, make certain to keep your head screwed on tight.

Every once in a while, we happen upon a special day that has no apparent rhyme or reasoning. We can’t imagine why someone would create this day. It defies logic. But, National Beheading Day is very prolific on the net. So, therefore, it warrants a few (very few) words.

Throughout history, beheadings have occurred. The list is long, including commoners and Kings. The most notable king to be beheaded was Charles I of England in 1645.

While this is a big day, don’t go crazy and lose your head.  In addition to protecting your neck, we suggest you spend this day reading about famous beheadings.

National Beheading Day Trivia: Who said “Off with their heads!”? This phrase spoken by the Queen of Hearts in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
