Video Games Day
Feeding the Pac-Man and Asteroids game quarters was just the beginning of the video game revolution. Back then were was even an etiquette involved in playing arcade games. If you intended to play another game or two after your current one, you were supposed to line up your quarters along the bottom ridge of the video game screen. Today?s etiquette mandates you?re on time for your scheduled online video game play with friends, you play fair and you don?t beg other players for free in-game items according to Softpedia.
Whether you?re playing an online version of Pac-Man on your break, obsessing over Angry Birds or Farmville, or putting your hours away with Tiger Woods, Video Games Day is a day for gamers to celebrate.
National Boss/Employee Exchange Day
It?s sort of a like ?Freaky Friday? for the office. In the first ?Freaky Friday? movie (1976) the minds of Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster switch places. The movie was updated and remade with Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis. The switches take place when both people wish they had the other?s life, thinking the grass really is greener.
On National Boss/Employee Exchange Day employers and employees are encouraged to try to put themselves in the other person?s shoes. While you don?t have to actually switch jobs for the day (although exchanging some tasks may be beneficial), try to appreciate your employer?s or your employee?s point of view. The holiday is celebrated the first Monday after Labor Day.

* Peanut butter, banana and chocolate milkshake: an Elephant Monkey Choco-Delight
* Blend in some wheat germ
* Add cold coffee or coffee ice cream
