This is really AWESOME.. Too bad i actually like my job.. I work for myself, cant get much bette rthan that! You should add a prize for the most unique presentation of their red stapler! That would be fun.
Well, i am DEFINITELY stumbling this!
I think it’s horrible for a teacher to hate his/her job. It’s a tough job, yes, but if you hate it, then you shouldn’t be a teacher. Education is sub-standard these days as it is, and if you have teachers who don’t have their whole heart into it and love their jobs, they’re doing a disservice to the kids.
Oh. Hell. Yes.
Few people hate their jobs more than I do. I will attempt to take part (unless the good Lord answers my prayers and I find a better job in this rotten economy, of course).
Great idea!

Hi!
Love your idea my friend but since economy ain’t that good nowadays, I need to love my job to feel happy in my everyday work.
Will join your movement when I feel less happy about my job.
Until next time. See you around.
@Kikit I do agree with you, they should be a yellow stapler for those of us who love our jobs. Why dont you start a post on your blog for that?

Wow, this is something new to me. Sounds like an interesting holiday. I will have to see if I participate as the world is kinda messed now and I don’t really want to lose my job.
Found this just in time. Glad I didn’t miss it. It is a sensitive topic though these days. Hate your job or not one should be glad to have one. I talk to many each day who don’t.

I did it, my pic should be in the e-mail. Although if my boss finds out I’ll be outside living homeless for sure. He’s such a jerk.
I think a person should be required to watch “Office Space” before being allowed to post an opinion here.
I don’t hate my job either, but I hate a lot of the paper pushing politics involved in it and my Red stapler is my reminder not to take it all TOO seriously.
I love this holiday idea! Those of you expecting the Yellow stapler thing… Start your OWN blog and see how may joiners you get
