It’s Auckland Anniversary day in Auckland and I’m working, like many others in and around Auckland. That’s because our businesses service a national market and we simply can’t ignore the fact that the rest of the country is working today.

I’m sure the same thing happened last Monday to people in Wellington.

This is just plain nuts. We should be bringing together all of these itsy, bitsy little provincial holidays into one national day so we can all have a day off. It would no doubt significantly improve productivity on all these itsy, bitsy days and ensure we all still get a day off.

We could call it National Provincial Day Off. After all, does anyone really care or know why today is Auckland Anniversary Day and last Monday was Wellington Anniversary Day?

I’d love your ideas on what this day could be called.

Here’s 10 of my suggestions to get things cracking.
