An Anish Day is an English idiom for taking a work day off for enjoyment with a colorful excuse to company management.
Some example of excuses might be:
- The gas company has to read my meter once a year and this was the only time they would come.
- The water meter guy and the gas meter guy were both leaving cards on my door about me not being home, and they got into a fight about whose meter was better, and I have to go home and clean up.
- I have to get my car to the shop. If I don’t get it there in half an hour it’ll be locked out all weekend.
- My dog has a rash all over, and the vet closes early today.
- I’m arranging financing for a car.
- The refrigerator I ordered umpteen weeks ago has arrived and this was the only time they could deliver it.
- My back aches.
- My central air conditioning won’t stop running, and the goldfish are getting freezer burn.
- I have to take my mother to the doctor.
- I’m having my eyes checked this noon, and they put drops in them so I won’t be able to work afterwards.
- I’m having a root canal.
- I have to rearrange my savings so that there is no more than $100,000 in any one federally insured institution.
- I have to renew my driver’s license.
- I have to get new license plates.
- I’m going to my best friend’s engagement party.
- I’m going to my best friend’s wedding.
- I’m going to my best friend’s divorce.
- I have a seriously overdue library book that I have to return.
- I have a bunch of old parking tickets, and if I don’t pay them I’m going to be arrested.
- I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn’t come to work knowing my employee records may now contain false information.
The phrase pulling an Anish is used when someone is out of office for taking an Anish Day.
