On Holidays

It seems that every day we're bombarded with another holiday (or at least something that's recognized as a holiday) or a "national (insert some mundane thing that we don't really care about unless there's free stuff involved) day". On social media there's always the juxtaposition of hype about the upcoming holiday with our "celebrations" of the previous holiday. Most of the time, these events are to "remind" us of certain things in our lives that we shouldn't acknowledge on just one day. It's turning holidays into meaningless events and seems to serve as an excuse for us to not be mindful of our own lives. Of course this is best served with some light-hearted Dilbert shorts on the subject.

Typical Pointy-Haired Boss

While growing up I read a lot of Dilbert comics-at one point I had read every strip created. I've always enjoyed the engineers poking fun at everyone else and their slightly sadistic sense of humor.
