Is there anything special about today?

After a quiet couple of weeks, today was the day that everybody decided to ring our office, a complaints dept. Call volume was about four-fold to the norm. Is it just us, or is today National Rant day?

My boss is off for 3 weeks from today, so yeah...very important day for me.

I was off work on flexi so I couldn't tell you

Bank Holiday so perhaps there's more people at home to ring in and complain.

Just another normal day on the call floor for me today. The usual array of scumbags, chavs, clueless pensioners and other assorted idiots.

Ahh right. I didn't know it's a bank holiday for some regions, although I know that Scotland has one in September :-)

my last Monday of work for at least 2 months, so pretty special for me, tomorrow will be the last Tuesday for just as long as well

Scotland has to be different to the rest of us. You would have thought they would all be out enjoying themselves.

Maybe the warm weather 21c my gadget is telling me may have somit to do with it. Who knows.

I'm pretty sure it's not a 'real' bank holiday, everyone I know was still at work as normal today.

I'm Irish, not Scottish you [insert appropriate English derogatory term here]

Edit: Actually, you can be forgiven since I've changed my location and forgotten about it
