Get Over It Day

|

Did you know that today is Get Over It Day? I had no idea until a friend sent me the link to GetOverItDay.com. It’s a pretty Xer-style smack in the face to stop wallowing in the pathetic pity that is driving your friends bonkers. Perhaps I will take this opportunity to Get Over the fact that my freakin’ book publisher closed up shop before they published my book. See, I’m letting it go right now... *deep breath... innnnnnnnn... oooouuuut*

Get Over It Day is from the same folks who brought us RejectionHotline.com, which I am constitutionally opposed to because it smacks of a passive-aggressiveness that deeply bothers me -- if you can’t tell someone to their face, “Look, I’m sorry, but I’m not interested,” then you’re a woos. Yet I must respect the combination of geek skillz and Xer entrepreneurship that identified this niche and jumped in to fill it, obviously very successfully. This gang must be doing something right, if they’re able to make this offer:

WE'LL GIVE YOU $100 CASH if you tell your favorite bar about us and get them to sign up as an Official "Get Over It Day Party Spot!"

Still feeling down? As GetOverItDay.com notes, whatever is bothering you “could always suck more.”
