953 nut 57,298 #1 Posted Saturday at 10:46 AM International Goof Off Day is observed on March 22 every year. International Goof Off Day is a day when almost everyone can unwind and enjoy themselves. It’s a day to do whatever you want, as long as you don’t do what you’re supposed to do for that day. Goofing off should be your only plan for the day, as long as you don’t get in trouble at work or school. Today, do whatever you want with your time; the possibilities are unlimited. Even Winnie the Pooh agrees that “doing nothing leads to the very finest something,” as he famously said. So, heed Winnie’s counsel today and enjoy International Goof Off Day. Goof Off Day has been observed annually since 1976. Monica Moeller Dufour of Davison, Michigan, organized this particular fun celebration day with her grandfather, William D. Chase. Since then, Goof Off Day has been observed. When Moeller came up with the idea for this Day, she was a little 10-year-old girl. She was listening to her grandfather on the radio, urging listeners to call in with suggestions for his Chases’ Calendar. When Moeller heard this, she disguised her voice and called in. She dialed her grandfather’s number and told him about her plan without identifying herself. That, according to William, is a fantastic notion. She revealed to him the next day that she was the one who called in regarding International Goof Off Day. Her grandfather surprised her by smiling and showing her a local newspaper article about the need for a Goof Off Day. The Goof Off Day is the ideal opportunity for everyone to unwind, enjoy themselves, and have a good time. The day invites us to be a little foolish, relax, and do pointless things on this particular day. On this day, you’re encouraged to do something unproductive for enjoyment until the next day to take a break from your daily duties. Do something different from what you’ve been doing the past several days and just have fun. You deserve it. 1 2 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I completely agree. Retirement assisted with celebrating this day. Repeatedly, throughout the year! 🤪😛😜 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a series of meetings at church from 8:30 am until noon but did manage to take a three hour lunch break with a couple of friends so I guess I did OK. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
