According to the fine folks at halife.com, it’s boss appreciation day. Someone I work with brought in some delicious cinnamon rolls, created by the folks at the Wal-Mart Bakery. I believe it to be a core American behavior — eating something to celebrate something. In fact, it’s downright biblical (all the feasts in the Old Testament with fatted calves and the finest fodder). Food helps us celebrate. Right now, we’re celebrating by eating these fine pastries. Sadly the boss is not around. But he is appreciated. One will be saved for him (and later eaten while he’s not looking).
