March 22nd is International Goof-off Day

Now here’s a day that just about everybody can relax and enjoy. It’s a day to do anything and everything…..except what you’re supposed to do today.  A few years ago, Nintendo did a survey to identify the most popular activity for goofing off. They discovered that those surveyed chose playing video games ad their # 1 “goofing off activity. Gee, what a surprise! Looks like they were working when they should have been goofing off! 

Which reminds me, if you really want accurate results from surveys you host, I recommend a split test with your list and with an outside list. This way you can compare responses to see if the participants agree. Zoomerang, Survey Monkey and Question Pro are all great tools to create your surveys.
