Working Naked Day and Other Crazy Holidays

By Wendy J. Miller
Who knew that February 1 has been celebrated as Working Naked Day since 2010?  It was created by  home office expert Lisa Kanarek created the event to celebrate the sort of freedoms that one gets from working at home. She could have gone with “Work in Pajamas Day” but she was trying to make a serious statement.

I felt so bad missing Working Naked Day so I thought I’d better check what “special” holidays there are in April.  Here’s what I found:
