National Hire a Veteran Day Caps July’s Calendar

5 Celebrate National Workaholics Day on JULY 5 by taking it easy. Workaholics are still regarded positively by some, though that is changing. They may suffer from impaired brain and cognitive function due to sleep deprivation. So, workaholics of the world, please take today off!

12 National French Fry Day falls on JULY 12, the second Friday of the month. However you like ’em — traditional, sweet potato, Jicama style, parsnip sliver or baked carrot (uh, no) — try your fries dipped in ranch dressing, vinegar, mayo, honey mustard or cheese. There’s more to the fry life than ketchup!

15 Everyone needs occasional forgiveness from their relationship partner. National Get Out of the Doghouse Day, the third Monday or JULY 15, just might be the day to be let off the hook. Ask, beg or plead for mercy, cite the day, and perhaps you’ll return to good graces.

25 Looking to hire — and who isn’t? National Hire a Veteran Day on JULY 25 provides an opportunity for a win-win. Some skills gained in the military can reasonably transfer to signwork. Especially if you “can’t find the right people,” consider giving a vet a chance at your shop.
