Welcome back to the odd and whimsical poetery of the Peeps related to holidaze! Let’s investigate what today is, because we need all the holidaze we can celebrate, right?
Lately, every day seems to be many holidays! Which is good, because we all have our favorites. So I will pick out one or two, and you can click the link above if you’re curious about the rest. This is an Open Thread, so please feel free to add your favorite pomes and photoes and holidaze for today in the Comments!
Today is Cranky Co-Workers Day
Cranky Co-Workers Day is a day in honor of co-workers that complain and are cranky all year long. It is a day when everyone lets them continue complaining and being cranky, instead of trying to cheer them up. Maybe just days ago they got slapped on National Slap Your Irritating Co-Worker Day, but today they are to be left alone. The day was created by Ruth and Thomas Roy of Wellcat Holidays.
How to Observe
Celebrate the day by letting your co-workers be as cranky as they want! Don't try to cheer them up at all, and let them wallow in their normal crankiness! Celebrate who they are and that there is really no way you can ultimately change them.

A Growlery
by MiladyMar
she needed it
it was hers alone
to sit and mope
on dreadful days
when sour music plays
creating grumpy waves
relentless onslaught
inner turmoils boil
mind fueled to max
grumbling and cranky
leave me alone
need time to restore
room of rooms
staged just for me
my growlery
