Wouldn't tomorrow be the worse day to take off, Tom?
If I took off today, everyone would assume I went to this drunken parade they're having.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

Sorry, Scola. Hope today goes as well as it can.
Looks like they're getting ready for a parade in the street right outside my window. Chalk lines being put down, people zooming around in golf carts, beer trucks making deliveries, the usual signs.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Good vibes for your dad, lisah.
Boo, Tom. I hope you can mentally check out as much as possible while still having to be at work.

And someone in the office just hassled me about St. Patrick's Day. Seriously? Is this grade school all over again?

Our wings are not tired.
Healing ~ma for your dad, lisah.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
~ma for your dad, lisah. And congrats for your mom.
Tom, ~ma for getting through the day.

Because books.
Hassled you how?
I've been mentally checked out of work all week. The bakery is so slow, and my boss is so frantic about it, and I am so tired of washing the same dishes and serving the same croissants and making the same coffee, I've been in my head for days.

At my old office there was always one woman who would tee-hee and threaten to pinch me for not wearing green on St. Patrick's Day. She stopped that shit (at least with me) when I referred to it as assault. (Hey, I'm humorless when it comes to getting all up in my personal space and causing pain to me when I fucking told you to cut that shit out.)
I look terrible in green, so I own one item of green clothing (and that's only because of my love of Arrow). Shit, man, my family is Irish. I'm not wearing green today.

Stood at my office door and told me I had no excuses for not wearing green (I tried "I get dressed in the dark" and "I'm French"). At that point, I kind of fake-laughed and put my earphones back in, and he kind of reluctantly moved on.
If anyone tries to touch me, I will need bail money.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Health~ma for your dad, lisah, and congrats to your mom!
Seems like there's always one person in an office with a grade-school sense of humor.
