The most useless day


Today is April 1st...traditionally known as April fool's day. This is a day where people can engage in the pleasure of making an ass out of anyone they so choose. This day pits co-worker against co-worker, family against family and friend against friend.


I hate this day.


If there were one holiday I could erase completely from history it would be this day. It is likely I feel this way because on this day I take on the roll of the foolie rather than the fooler. I do not gain pleasure from making others feel stupid. I don't enjoy rubbing a well thoughtout prank in someones face. Maybe I just don't have the time on my hands that others do. I really don't like to be laughed at because I "fell for it". I mean...seriously...I am an easy target. It is not a challenge to get me with a prank. No one should pat themselves on the back for pulling a joke on me. I am amature material.


Three times in a one hour period...one by my CEO. He promised doughnuts. What heartless, souless fiend promises a pregnant woman doughnuts and then laughs when she goes to get it and there is none.


I hate this day....and now I want a doughnut.
