Still, I feel I should do something to observe St. Patrick's Day. Perhaps a bowl of Lucky Charms?
You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.
Suela O'Clabby?
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.
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.

My Angostura bitters arrived! For all its faults amazon.com can be pretty useful.

Haven't brought it in, yet. But I was ranting about our content management system, and one of the writers scampered in, put a handful of mini peanut butter cups on my desk, and scampered back out. They're trained well around here.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm wearing jeans and a black shirt today. Technically my nails are green, but they're only visible as such if I go outside in the sun.

Yes, a website that just serves up quotes by Bea Arthur.
I got, "If that doesn't fill the void, nothing will." In fact, it seems to be stuck on that, but supposedly, "You know, I don't think I ever had a sponge cake so moist," is another possibility.
