Sit On The Couch And Eat Ice Cream Day


I find it strange that the one day a year that’s dedicated to work, everybody has the day off. Shouldn’t Labor Day be the day that everyone goes to work and shows a little pride, or at the very least, pretends to actually care about their job?

If the government wants to give us an extra day off from work, why not call it: Lazy Day, or Hang Out With Your Family Day, or Sit On The Couch And Eat Ice Cream Day…mmmm, chocolate chip cookie dough. Anyway, here’s a nice WPA poster that shows the wonderful options a vocation in math can offer.

WPA Poster Archive

While doing some historical poster research, I happened upon this jem of an archive – over 900 Works Projects Administration posters photographed by the US Library of Congress. The WPA posters were created following the Great Depression (1935-43), as a way of providing work for artists and illustrators. Some of the posters are really well-designed, some are not, but each has its own charm. Many of the posters have huge 4MB versions available for download (although some of the photos are of questionable quality).
