Have you not heard Cheese Weasel Day is April 3rd?

#CheeseWeaselDay is the only internet holiday. It celebrates the contributions of techies to daily life. Do a web search and see for yourself, its a grassroots holiday that’s been around since the 90′s.

On Cheese Weasel Day (April 3rd) the Cheese Weasel delivers cheese to techies, usually leaving a slice of cheese under their mouse pads. People have office celebrations (see below, the party is already starting!), create art and generally express gratitude to techies on this fun (and cheesy) holiday.

Not sure who to send thankfulness to on Cheese Weasel Day? Anyone who helps you when your technology goes on the blink. They deserve a thanks! You’re not going to be able to give them an Apple iWatch until April 24th, so why not just slip them some cheese now?

Please consider joining the tradition for 2015, encourage  your company or organization to show appreciation of tech support. Don’t wait until Skynet gains self-awareness and your tech support has to deactivate a killer sentient robot before you say thanks. Say thanks April 3rd.  If you do have a celebration, please remember to use the tag #CheeseWeaselDay and let us know.

Remember, robots don’t care about cheese!

Thank you!

Happy Cheese Weasel Day! This year I'm behind the grill (except for right now) making mediocre grilled cheeses for all of our awesome @longviewsystems employees! I promise I won't quit my day job.

Cheese Weasel Day (CWD) is the only Internet holiday. Started around 1993, CWD is celebrated each April 3rd as a fun day dedicated to appreciating people who work in the tech industry. Share this video to celebrate the contributions of your technical friends! #cheeseweaselday

Molly Carocci is the undisputed poet laureate of  Cheese Weasel Day.

The Cheese-loving Shepherd to His Love

Eat cheese with me and be my Love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That dills and Wensleydales and Tetillas, Or Edams or Havarti yields.

And we will sit upon a sweater,
And see the shepherds eat some Cheddar
By shallow rivers, at whose falls
Melodious birds eat Emmentals.

KOSU commentary this morning about celebrating the unsung TECHIES in our lives with Cheese Weasel Day…

Here is a message for all the techies listening today. Stop asking why you don’t get more respect and start recognizing your influence. You’re quick and clever. You don’t like under-handed co-workers and back-room deals. This makes you a great candidate for leadership. You have great ideas, but you’re not a sovereign nation. So, give yourself permission to build relationships and mingle.
