Today’s special holiday should not be difficult for most to accomplish.  It seems that most peoples attitudes are “I’ll get there when I get there”.  And so, with that, today is,  “National Be Late for Something” day!

For those of you who are planning on attending a great party tonight, you might not want to be too late, as the ice might melt and you will have to consume warm drinks.

If you have a doctors appointment, you might not want to be late for that either, because just like going to doctors offices everywhere, you get there on time, sign in, wait and wait and finally get called back to a waiting room (imagine a waiting room after waiting in a room for a long time), where you wait some more until the doc finally comes in to see you.

In these cases, if you are late for your appointment, you will be put on a back burner until the next late person arrives, when your appointment will be put into their time slot.  I’d try and get there early and not support today’s important holiday.

Bill, if you are reading this, you might not want to be late for your plane ride back home….just sayin.

So, how in the heck can you enjoy todays Be Late for Something day?

That is actually harder to decide than most things.  Most people have scheduled things they feel important enough to make an appointment for and don’t really want to miss that appointment.  Hair cuts, lawyer visits, bank appointments, weddings, funerals (of friends of course), fishing or hunting times, surgeries, dates with very special friends…the list goes on and on.

AH HA!  I have it, but for most of you it’s too late because you are already there.  WORK!  Be late to go into work!  The boss has to excuse you doesn’t he/she?  After all this is a NATIONAL HOLIDAY for heaven sakes!

I wish you the best with that one, but it is the only one I can see being late for.

Enjoy your day!
