Let’s just call it a day

Handloom Day, Lefthanders Day, Biryani Day. Who'll give us a day off from the calendar?
If you ever feel like your schedule is out of control, take comfort: The calendar is having a meltdown too.
At some point in the last decade, humanity collectively decided that every one of our 365 days must stand for Something Important. There's Valentine's Day, of course (February 14), and Earth Day (April 22). But there's also Siblings Day (April 10), Cat Day (February 22), or the concerning celebrations heaped on July 31: Intern Day, Avocado Day, World Orgasm Day. HR departments are simply not equipped to handle this.
The more you look, the weirder it gets. November 6 is Marooned Without a Compass Day (to help you reflect on your purpose). But it also happens to be World Let's Stop Shouting Day and National Nachos Day (neither of which help when you're marooned). On September 4, prepare for Eat an Extra Dessert Day. It’s also International Taekwondo Day. November 19, incidentally, is both Men’s Day and Toilet Day. You win some, you lose some, sometimes on the same calendar square.
