August is known for being Foot Health Month, National Inventors Month, National Catfish Month, Home Business Month, and Water Quality Month – and the month The Smitchens normally takes a shower.
So since you were probably busy getting pedicures, and starting up your Catfish Water Quality Innovations home business, AND since August is also known for wasting time at work, we thought we’d show you a little bit of what happened this month – here, in our world.
This obviously isn’t everything we wrote about, or even everything that happened, but if you’re sitting in a cubicle looking to waste a little time, this should be worth a good 30 minutes to you. Keep your fingers on alt-tab in case the boss walks by.
