Why Super Bowl Monday should be a day off
You ever had a hangover so bad that you would have rather had your head severed instead of actually being alive? Or have one of those evenings that turned out to be a once in a lifetime shot at acting as wild as you could? Well, I have never really experienced either of those, but I have experienced a few crazy Super Bowl Sundays.
No, not the redneck kind where everyone shouts cuss words at the TV while drunk and covered in potato chip crumbs. I am talking about the "man screaming at the TV while spilling his soda and dropping his pizza" kind. Yeah, that was me yesterday.
And given the emotional context of the game I am surprised I made it until 10:00 PM without melting into a puddle of self pity and uncontrolled whining while curled up in the fetal position in the corner sucking my thumb. But seeing as it was a rough day for millions of people across the country you would think that "the day after" would be a freebie for everyone in the US. I mean seriously, pretty much the entire country watches the Super Bowl right? And pretty much everyone gets into it somehow, whether it be drinking, eating, screaming, fighting, kissing, fighting, screaming or fighting, right? Why not let us have today off?
Not only that, but in the world of competitive commerce you get what you pay for. How many companies are paying for their employees to do nothing but sit on their rumps and either talk about how much they won or lost on the game or what they would have done different if they were the coach or the players. I mean come on, everyone knows that there is absolutely no work done the day after the Super Bowl. Why make us come in?
Of course I am being facetious, but when you think about, I do have a point, don't I?
