Full disclosure: I'm a holiday hater, Christmas, Halloween, hell I even have a problem with Thanksgiving. Now don't get me wrong I have nothing against the "familiness" of holidays; my problem is normally with the commercialization associated with celebrations placed throughout the year. Today my target is April Fool's Day. Today is just another occasion where brainwashed consumers go out and force feed the economy with money. Money for whoopee cushions, fake vomit and silly string. Damn you practical joke industry! NO JOKES FOR PROFITS!
So today instead of contributing to the corporate joke machine with another ink gum purchase maybe just buy your coworker a cup of coffee? Unless of course the idea of a humble Colombian farmer working for slave wages bothers you? In which case try a nice cup of nails because at least those are made by Union labour right here in North America.
