Seriously, what day isn’t Bosses Day?

For the record, National Bosses Day is on Saturday, October, 16, 2010.

If you’re lucky enough to have a job, most likely you spend everyday jumping through the hoops of too much to do and unrealistic expectations, just to make your boss happy.  Even if you’re a boss, unless you’re “the boss” you do the same thing for a boss.

The Big D!ck Contest of Survival has only intensified the Big D!ck Contest at Work. The winners have a paycheck, the losers are job hunting.

Boss’s Day was registered with the Chamber of Commerce in 1959 all because a woman, who worked for her father at State Farm Insurance in Illinois, forgot his birthday.  Hallmark didn’t make cards until 1979.  And I have no idea when the gifts started.   However, Emily Post reminds everyone all boss gifts should be done as a group so the individual employee doesn’t look like they are Puckering-Up (a Big D!ck Contest Play).

When are we going to have an employee day? A day for the people who get Big D!ck Paycheck’s to appreciate the teeny weenies who make them possible.

Does playing the Big D!ck Contest make us happy? Sometimes yes and sometimes no.

If we’re only playing for survival, money to pay rent, keep the lights on, and put food on the table, the Big D!ck Contest sucks. And in today’s tight job market, a lot of people are playing for survival. It’s hard to Fly Under the Radar (a BDC play) when you’re worried if you don’t win every contest, you might be jobless. And if that happens you’ll lose a whole lot of other contests. Circumstances has forced virtually everyone to have BDC claws of survival out. If we’re forced to play for survival, then playing the Big D!ck Contest is an unhappy experience and can lead to so much stress that it literally kills you. Beware.

But what about all those other contests we play. Is there happiness when we get that promotion over our nemesis at work? Usually. Is there happiness when we have our significant other admit we’re right? Usually. Is there just a little bit of pride when our front yard landscaping is the talk of the neighborhood. Usually.

So, yes, there are times we want to be the best. We want win. When we do, it’s a lot of fun. It makes us happy. We grin from ear to ear.

And obviously, if we lose the contests we want to win, it sucks and we’re unhappy. But when they are contest we chose to play, we can quit playing them and our happiness can return quite quickly.

So in honor of Happiness Happens Month, may you only have to play and win the contests that will make you happiest.
