Today is dedicated to goofing off when something productive should be getting done. This day can be celebrated by anyone, whether they are employed somewhere, a student, a volunteer, or a retired person who neglects anything they were planning to accomplish for the day. It doesn’t take much effort to be a goof-off, chances are that you are goofing off by reading this.

The day was created by William D. Chase of Chase’s Calendar of Events and his granddaughter, Monica “Moeller” Dufour. In 1976, when Monica was 10, she was listening to her grandfather on the radio. He was encouraging listeners to call in with ideas for holidays. Monica decided to be a goof-off, so she disguised her voice, and called into the station, telling her grandfather that there should be a Goof-off Day. The following day she confessed to him that it was her that had called in, and the day was born!

National Goof-off Day is being observed today! It has always been observed annually on March 22nd.
