Punch the Clock Day
Since nobody really understands this day or what it is supposed to be about I thought I would just provide the random "punch the clock" info Google gives me!  :)
Punch the Clock is an album released in 1983 by Elvis Costello and the Attractions
Punch the Clock is an idiom, a phrase for the workforce: The History of the Punch (Time) Clock
It's my guess that Punch the Clock day was created somewhere along the timeline of history as a way to recognize the developments in employee pay methods, etc.  By this year, 2015, the old time clocks must of us think of punching or remember punching have been replaced with computer based ones or electronic, digitized ones.  And at some point the time clock became a burden to the employee rather than an assistance to their paychecks being accurate.
Here are some opinion pieces about the relevance and use of "time clocks" these days:

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
