Cubicle Liberation Day

Yes, you read that right.

And, sorry to all those still stuck in one. Indeed, the day is fast approaching when we celebrate the latest holiday craze: Cubicle Liberation Day! It comes every year on December 17 in honor of my Cubicle Liberation Day on 12/17/04. What's that? I can't just make up a holiday? Well, Dudley Dudder McDudderson, I just did. Fa.

Since December 17 is, in fact, a Saturday this year, this does not damper the celebration. Oh, no, no, no, no, no! And no. Just celebrate Cubicle Liberation Day on December 16. Or December 19. Or both. Your choice. If you are still in a cubicle, tell them it is a holiday and you can't come to work. That won't fly? Call in sick. You have my permission. If you are not in a cubicle, call in sick anyway. Personally, I'm going skiing.

The best thing about Cubicle Liberation Day is that it is a no-gift-no-present-no-stress holiday. And couldn't we all use one this time of year? You know, when "the holiday" is just around the corner. Yes, get your last minute Solstice shopping done soon. Before the big evening, take some time out for yourself to celebrate Cubicle Liberation Day. It's the best gift you can give this year.

So, how are you going to celebrate Cubicle Liberation Day?
