OK, so the free 2013 WoodChips calendars are finally ready.  All of the WoodChips have been working really hard on this project … hmmm … that is except DeadWood … who seems to have trouble with numbers, or work maybe.  Some of us have been thinking he’s let the clutch out too fast on his HollyDavidson Unicycle once too often (chuckle).
But no matter, what can be better than Cool and Free?  Get your calendars here, now … they have all the cool holidays like Belly Laugh Day, Talk Like A Pirate Day – even National WoodChips Day – and yeah, yeah, we have all the normal, boring holidays as well – big deal.
Also, there are a number of calendars to choose from … and we’ll be adding
more in the next few weeks, so you might want to check back from time to
time…
So just scroll down and click on the calendar you like for instant access, and of course, you will get signed up for the free WoodChips
newsletter as well as we “see the forest through the trees.”
No worries if you already get the newsletter (as in the one you’re
reading now).  Signing up multiple times to get more calendars for you
and your friends won’t flood your email – you’ll still just get one
newsletter when they come out.
So get your fun WoodChips calendars now, and have a nice day – J. Daniel
P.S. Did I mention to forward this email to all of your friends so they can get their free calendars too (chuckle).

Since this issue is about calendars, a couple of quotes about time seemed appropriate…
 
Day, n. A period of twenty-four hours, mostly misspent.

Ambrose BierceFor disappearing acts, it’s hard to beat what happens to the eight hours supposedly left after eight of sleep and eight of work.

2013 Calendar Project – Just When Is Cinco De Mayo?

 

Folks here at WoodChips Central have been working at a feverish pace to get the 2013 calendars ready.  They finally wrapped the project up late last night.
Of course the Calendar Project has had it’s share of setbacks – like all projects.  First off, some members of the team questioned even doing the project, pointing out that the world was going to end on December 21st according to the Mayans – see World Ends 1 and World Ends 2.
I noted this was a fair point, but in a silly gesture of optimism, I said let’s do it anyway, just in case the world doesn’t end.  Also, being the Project Manager, had I canceled the project, I wouldn’t have had anything to do.
Then there was the deadline challenge as team members asked exactly when the deadline for completion was.  After careful consideration, I said it should be done before 2013.  There was a bit of grumbling on this point, I think mostly from the end of the world faction, but eventually I think there was a general agreement that producing a 2013 calendar before it actually was 2013 would prove most useful.
And finally, there was the big flap over just exactly what date the holiday Cinco De Mayo actually occurs on.  Some of us pointed out that Cinco de Mayo is Spanish for 5th of May — ummm … and we were thinking the holiday probably fell on the 5th of May.  More dissension, again, I think from the end of the world crowd.  It was almost like these folks like the end of the world concept because it excuses them from actually having to plan for or do anything – but that may just be crass on my part.
Finally, we settled the whole thing by looking it up on the Internets (as a former President used to call it).  Sure enough, Google search proved that Cinco De Mayo actually does fall on the 5th of May.  Go figure.  And before anyone could challenge that, I reminded them that if it’s on the Internet, it’s always true.  That stopped them dead in their tracks.
So all in all a pretty successful project, i.e. the purpose challenged, deadline disagreed on and total specification confusion.  So that’s the behind the scenes story for you for this years big calendar project. And that’s how we’ll leave it with you here at WoodChips Central, where every year we “seem to grow another ring wider and deeper in dirt.”

Have a nice day – J. Daniel
