The calendar is packed with Special Days, on which we’re supposed to celebrate or focus on something. Take Your Child To Work Day! National Plan a Vacation Day! But if you're working from home because of a pandemic, a lot of these special days just don't apply to you. So I’ve come up with a few Special Days just for those of us who are working from home these days:

Try to Keep Your Cat Off the Keyboard Day

Enjoy a Quarantini for Lunch Day

Wander Through the Background of Your Partner’s Zoom Meeting in Your Underwear Day

Cancel Your Vacation Plans and Curse Covid Day

Draft a Business Memo in Your Head While Changing a Diaper Day

Mute Your Computer and Scream With Boredom During a Webinar Day

Wear a Tiara To a Zoom Meeting Day

Spend all Day Online Trying to Score a Vaccination Day

Surreptitiously Binge-Watch Brooklyn 99 During an Important Online Meeting While Trying to Keep Straight Face Day
