Everything, on Monday, I will start a new life (quit smoking, go in for sports, sit on a diet)!
Well, okay, I won't start (I will, I will, I will sit down), but simply I will clean my office rodent from the layer of accumulated "tan". And I will do this every Monday! Well, not everyone, but only every last Monday of the month! Hygiene above all because. Although for a month it is not very much that it gets dirty, it is possible once a year. Resolved - the last Monday of August - Clean Mouse Day.
Approximately such thoughts flashed through my mind this morning, and then immediately jumped to the planetary level.
As part of globalization and the unification of the world by corporations into a single labor market, when employees of one firm are so different (place of residence, language, religion, age, etc.), it is difficult to find a single event that would be close to everyone.
Why do you need such a day? To establish closer contact with people who have to deal with work, but with whom there is nothing in common except this very work. In order not to write at least once a year a beaten phrase - “how is your weather today?” Or “How are you?”.
The mouse, at this historical moment, is almost a universal tool of labor, which is used by any employee anywhere in the world. Except for the majority of non-skilled labor of course. Therefore, why not put it into the foundation of such a day !?

But to celebrate the Day of the Mouse as an instrument of labor is somehow not that naive, but it has no effect on the external world and interaction with it.
- Bro, did you hear Office Mouse Day today?
- What are you doing? Well, cool ...
- How is your weather?
But to show on this day that you care about your work tool, pin up a fellow slut who even on such a day doesn’t clean his rodent's fur, there is already a component here to establish closer relations.
By writing this post I want to find like-minded people to launch a wave in the information environment. In a year, I would drop a letter in English with an offer to participate in fundraising on Kickstarter for making and giving away a “cleaning kit for your mouse” package on the streets of Cupertino, consisting of two wet wipes and some badge with the words “I have not forgotten clean your mouse, and you? ".
Perhaps this is naive, but it's worth a try.
From you, dear habro-community, I hope to receive not only approval or disapproval of such an undertaking, but also practical assistance in creating this movement. In part of the globe is still a whole working day and you can still have time to congratulate someone on this event.
