National Somethingorother Whathaveyou
It's National Vocation Awareness Week. I found out in Church today. It seems to be a trend, using National ____ Day as your starting point; anyone can promote anything during a certain timeframe. Soon there won't be any free days, weeks, or months left on the calendar. After all, there already is:
National Hispanic-American Heritage Month (September)
National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (September)
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October)
National Auto Battery Safety Month (October)
National American Indian Heritage Month (November)
National Adoption Awareness Month (November)
National Safe Toys and Gifts Month (December)
National Drunk and Drugged Driving (3D) Prevention Month (December)
National Birth Defects Prevention Month (January)
National Volunteer Blood Donor Month (January)
National African-American Heritage Month (February)
National Wise Mental Health Consumer Month (February)
National Women's History Month (March)
National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month (March)
National Candlelight Vigil for Eating Disorders Awareness Month (April)
National Child Abuse Prevention Month (April)
National Asian-American Heritage Month (May)
National Military Appreciation Month (May 2005)
To top it all off, we've got:
National Auto Battery Safety Month (October)
National Hand Washing Awareness Week (December)
National Diet Resolution Week (1st week Jan.)
National Correct Posture Month (May)
National IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) Month (May)
World Breastfeeding Week (August)
International Housekeepers Week (September)
National Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day (3rd Tuesday in Sept.)
Looks like they've got the school year covered! Too bad activism isn't very active when college isn't in session. If you don't believe me, check out the 2005 National Health Observances Calendar or Pam Pohly's Net Guide. Fascinating Stuff!
And in that cold and dark month of February, in which I was born, I am ashamed to admit, the following National SomethingOrOther WhatHaveYou's are observed:
National Girls and Women in Sports Day (First Weds. in Feb.)
National Pride in Food Service Week (1st workweek in Feb.)
National Have-A-Heart Day (Feb 14)
National Condom Day (Feb 14 - Happy Valentine's Day)
National Kids E.N.T. (Ears, Nose, Throat) Month
So, what's on Your birthday?

My birthday is April 7 which is National No Housework Day (huzzah!) and also National Poppy Day. The reason there's no housework is that everyone is laying around stoned on opium!
