There is one day that many COSI Team Members find special. It is the last Tuesday that COSI is closed before we stay open seven days a week. It is a time for everyone to make sure that our show is polished, our Look Shirts in order and the Pendulum Ball shined to a reflective gold. We call this Burdock Day.
Usually, this Tuesday falls somewhere in May, between Spring Break and summer. This year, COSI was able to secure the Titanic Artifact Exhibition and we will be open seven days a week starting on March 17th, 2010. So it was necessary to push Burdock Day up to today, March 16th, 2010.
How can you celebrate Burdock Day? First off, wish everyone a “Happy Burdock Day.” When they ask what Burdock Day is, just tell them that it’s the day before the day after. Or say it’s the end of the beginning or the start of the finish. Another way to celebrate is to eat at a Greek Restaurant. Lastly, it is traditional to “Be Burdock.” While that means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, for me it means to do my best, using the resources at hand, with a friendly smile and a bald head.
Happy Burdock Day!!
