The Super Bowl Dilemma: To Give a Day Off Or Not
By Barbara Poole

Few events during the year give us reason to wildly celebrate and let out our inner cave man (or cave gal) than the Super Bowl. Where else can you find hedonistic amounts of food and beer? When else do we go berserk over giant men getting the #%@& beat out of them on the field for the sake of control of a football? Yes, the Super Bowl has become a national obsession, and one of the biggest social occasions of the year. Unfortunately, the Super Bowl airs on Sunday evenings, leaving many bloated, burping, and hung over the next morning.
What is an employer to do about the newest holiday to confront our economy – The Morning after the Super Bowl? Let’s face it. There’s not going to be a lot of productivity that day anyhow. Here are the top ten reasons why bosses need to tell their employees to stay home on this new national holiday, simply known as “The Day After.”
10. Need time off to appropriately give thanks for a 6 month vacation from John Madden
9. Gives the guy in accounting a day to practice performing 1-man versions of all of his favorite beer commercials
8. So the entire nation, together, can find out what Regis thought of the game
7. Beer + chili + close cubicles. Do the math
6. It would be another sign that the terrorists aren't winning
5. Use the day off to reflect upon the moving halftime performance
4. Gives employees a chance to test-drive this "unemployment" thing
3. The After Super Bowl sale at Macy's!
2. Isn't it already a holiday?
And the number one reason…..
1. Two words: “guacamole detox”
