D Day

The coolest leave which I heard some employees in certain companies are entitled is called Duvet Day! so out of curiosity I goggled that term and I found this:



Just for laughter: A periodic table duvet. BTW laughter is good because it is free of preservatives!


What is a duvet day?



duvet day means taking a day off work when you ‘just don’t feel up to it’. You are not ill, you don’t want to lie to the boss; you just need a day in bed!!



By having a duvet day every leap year, starting from “29th February 2008”. http://www.duveyday.org/ has been encouraging employers to allow their employees to stay at home, as this could help the environment by reducing Carbon emissions for that day by up to 80%!



As of today, there is only 1028 days left to the 2nd Annual Duvet Day! Bosses and HR Practitioners, take the hint, you don't have to wait until the next Duvet Day to implement such a policy in your company!
