Mardi Gras. It's a Louisiana holiday. Pretty huge here.

International Talk Like A Pirate Day: When I worked in a call center, this was more fun for me than Customer Service Appreciation Week! I was among the few that bothered but I still enjoyed it. We were in the tech support department, meaning the default mood of our callers was RABID BEAR-TIGER, so I can understand my coworkers' hesitation. But one year a customer gave me kudos for it. When receiving kudos, it was office policy for the supervisor to print off a "Certificate of Excellence in Customer Service" with a brief quote from the customer on it. In short, I ended up with a nifty certificate on my desk that said I was a "Grade-A scallywag and first-rate buccaneer."
Administrative Professionals' Day: I love that there's a day for this! I'm my own boss, so I always buy myself a little tax-deductible employee appreciation gift. Last year I purchased a new printer. This year was a drawing tablet.

I never considered that as your own boss you can buy yourself an appreciation gift. Genius! The gift ends up as a net zero but the tax-deductable part is a win. But I reckon there's a threshold you need to stay beneath so you won't have to claim the value of the gift on your income tax?

I could stand to update my computer or printer. This is a fantastic idea!
