Happy Least Productive Day of the Year!

It’s that time of the year again!  Unproductive Day!  According to a poll by, uh, the Canary Island Tourism Board, today, this very Monday, is the least productive workday of the year.  The poll found that productivity in the workplace will decrease this week by the fairly astonishing and a little suspicious figure of 50%, while 54% of workers “will struggle to get to grips with their work-load today,” mostly because they are sad about how the sun is gone.  And also that Lil Wayne is going to prison.  Eight percent planned to call in sick, which kind of ruins it for the folks who are actually ill today rather than just sitting at home taking Vicodin and making Halloween costumes.  It doesn’t even take that much effort to dress like Bella and Edward, guys.  You don’t need a whole day off to do it.

After the jump, a brief guide to popular activities people are doing today instead of their jobs. 

Blogs! Reading blogs is considered one of the most effective ways to not do your job at work.

“Apologize“!  Listen to the timeless Timbaland/One Republic hit “Apologize” on repeat all day and maybe take some time to think about failed relationships and unaccomplished dreams.  Hey, if everyone else gets to be depressed today, why should you be left out?

Pay the rent! You really need to get around to paying the rent.  It’s like 26 days into the month, and your landlord is from Naples, dude.  If you think you’re sad now, just wait until how sad you’ll be after Sad Vito shows up to meet with you.

StumbleUpon! How does it always know exactly what you want to look at on the internet??

Tickle fight! Yes!
