The Day of Boss
There is case
to give presents to your boss – it is his/her day – “The Day of Chief”. It’s
celebrated at the 16th of October every year. This holiday was thought
up by Patricia Basil Haroski.
Let’s
speak about the history of the holiday.
As
I wrote, it had been invented by P. B. Haroski. Who had been working as a
secretary at 1950s at the company, called “State Insurance”. The chief of the
company was her father, whose birthday was on the 16th of October. That’s
why the daughter had chosen this day of the year. She registered this holiday
in the Chamber of Commerce of the United States.
And
now I’d like to give you information what to present.
Patricia
believed that the present to a chief should symbolize how staff understands the
whole difficulty of his/her job. The traditional gifts are post-cards, a bouquet
of flowers, paid lunch at the place where the boss eats. But competition between
members of a staff to give the best present forced to make amendments in the big
companies according to which you may present a thing which cost is the same as a
post-card.

Boss’s Day, also known as National Boss Day or Bosses Day, is a time for many workers to appreciate their employers. It is annually observed in the United States on October 16, or the nearest working day.
ReplyDeleteNational Boss Day offers employees an opportunity to recognize those in supervisory positions. Popular ways to say "thanks" include cards, a lunch in the boss's honor, flowers, or gift certificates.
For some workers, the word “boss” sends a shiver down their spine. Others have a great working relationship with their supervisors and managers.
ReplyDeleteBut anyway, take a minute today to say thanks to your boss. And if you need a fresh new approach to the relationship you have with your supervisor or manager? Wish them a happy bosses’ day anyway, and break the ice.

Today is also birthday of famous US writer Noah Webster. He has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education." His blue-backed speller books taught five generations of American children how to spell and read, secularizing their education. According to Ellis (1979) he gave Americans "a secular catechism to the nation-state." His name became synonymous with "dictionary," especially the modern Merriam-Webster dictionary that was first published in 1828 as An American Dictionary of the English Language.

ReplyDeleteEugene Gladstone O'Neill (October 16, 1888 – November 27, 1953) was an American playwright and Nobel laureate in Literature. His poetically titled plays were among the first to introduce into American drama techniques of realism earlier associated with Russian playwright Anton Chekhov, Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, and Swedish playwright August Strindberg. His plays were among the first to include speeches in American vernacular and involve characters on the fringes of society, where they struggle to maintain their hopes and aspirations, but ultimately slide into disillusionment and despair.
ReplyDeleteDictionary Day was named to honor the great American wordsmith, Noah Webster, on his birthday. Celebrate today by using the dictionary to expand your vocabulary and try to use the new words, correctly, in conversation. Some may also want to test their vast vocabulary by playing Scrabble, while others may want to take this day and not use words at all. However you celebrate, have fun with this day.
