I own a lot of green, and my eyes are green, so not unusual for me to wear the color. I wore it yesterday too. There were only 2 people at the office when I stopped by earlier. One had a lovely green shirt on, the other wore no green, unless it was hidden by his jacket. I didn't consider pinching him, but he might have liked it.
My food is problematic.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Glad to hear the kiddo is basically OK, Laura.
My boss actually said "you know what happens if you didn't wear green?" and I said "people could pinch me adn I punch them in the crotch".
Today, you are my hero.
I wore green today because I remembered I have a nice cactus-colored Alfani shirt that the weather is perfect for. But I don't normally dress for the holiday. And if anyone gives me grief, I point out that nature equipped me for the occasion with green eyes.

Laura, I'm glad your son is ok. Too bad about the car.

I didn't wear green either, go figure. I'm betting not one of my co-workers says a thing about it, either.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Still, I feel I should do something to observe St. Patrick's Day. Perhaps a bowl of Lucky Charms?

Laura, I'm glad your son wasn't too badly hurt in his car crash.
My nephew was in a few car wrecks, and he was never badly hurt. Now he's working at a place that does automobile crash tests.

So my next task at work is modifying our web timesheet program for use in Saudi Arabia.
It turns out that most workers in Saudi Arabia have a one day weekend - on Friday. But some people have two-day weekends (Thursday and Friday.) And supposedly they might change that to Friday and Saturday.
Great.
eta: and after Saudi Arabia comes... Canada!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Given my last name, I come in for a fair amount of joshing on St. Patrick's Day.

Mine, too!
I am wearing a black sweater and a black-and-white skirt. The only green-ish thing I own is a bra that's forest green with black lace over it.
I am not wearing it today.
I haven't seen anyone in my office building wearing kelly green; there's a lot of loden green around, though.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm betting not one of my co-workers says a thing about it, either.
Certainly not if you have your croquet mallet with you.
