It strikes me as rather odd that each year we celebrate all these commercial events like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, St Patrick’s Day etc, yet every 4 years we have a day that occurs but once that seems to be missed.

I did ask in our morning meeting if salaried team members (ie management!) were getting a day in lieu for working an extra day. Someone took me seriously and said they would look into it. What the!

Perhaps we should consider it a bonus day? Why is there no global call for action? Leap Day cards, special birthday greetings… I knew a guy once when he had had 4 and a bit birthdays and I was 16 or so. He kinda acted his birthdate on occasion too…

O well did nothing exciting today. Will have to wait another 4 years to think of something to do. Perhaps I can commercialise the day and make some moula…
