Today, April 19, is National High Five day. So, if you did not check your employee handbook, you do not need to report to work. All schools are closed, and there will be no mail delivery.
It truly is a holiday.
The holiday originated at the University of Virginia in 2002, and has since spread across the nation, and around the globe. Mont Sleets, the inventor of the High Five, has finally received his due as this holiday goes for the big 5, high five that is! We salute the man whom without, our holiday would not even exist.
The actual website for the national holiday can be found at: http://www.nationalhighfiveday.com.
So today as you go to work, because you are too chicken to take the day off, when you pass someone in the hallway, hold your hand up high and see if you get a high five. Walk into your bosses office, or a clients office and don't shake hands rather raise your hand high and wait for the appropriate response.
This holiday may seem a bit fresh, and Hallmark has not yet produced a greeting card, but everyone will soon be talking about this holiday loud and clear. Rumor has that Tina Turner could be the spokes model for the high five. Oh, that may be wrong, that again is that bitch slap she so venomously despises.
