And someone in the office just hassled me about St. Patrick's Day.
Don't you want to celebrate Ireland's accomplishments, like Michael Lohan and vomiting into a bagpipe?
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I'm going to kill something. All the damned images I uploaded to the damned test documentation server in the past week got blown away. And it's a clunk piece of software that I hate to begin with.

lisah, best to you and your Dad and family.
Consuela, YAY!
Tom, I hope that your day is as easy as possible.
Yesterday, a friend that I hadn't seen in years called to say he was in town and did I want to have lunch -- it was awesome. My DH dropped everything to join us, too. Now we just have to really get a visit in when we are our in LA with him and the whole family.

Ann, that's a ferret.
No Irish here, but the nearest thing to it -- one set of great-great-grandparents immigrated from Anglesey. (Holyhead, one end of the ferry from Dublin to Wales, is on Anglesey.) I'm wearing blue today, with gray trousers.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Me too, Fred Pete. Some ancestors a few generations back immigrated from Cork to North Carolina and kept moving over the mountains until they fell down and took root in Tennessee.

Tom, hope today starts looking better for you as it goes on.
Lisah, I'm crossing my fingers for your dad.
Stood at my office door and told me I had no excuses for not wearing green...
"My excuse is go fuck yourself!"
I'm actually wearing green today, but my good green shirt was up in the laundry rotation so I figured why not. In general I consider my green eyes to mean I'm dressed for St. Patrick's Day even when naked.
Also, new glasses! [link]

Your co-workers might thank you for going the extra mile and wearing that shirt.
Nice glasses!

Dahlia Lithwick on the Garland nomination Cracks. Me. Up.
The GOP refusal to even meet with Garland, whom they all avowedly like, is like some weird form of abstinence education: If we meet him, we have to give him a hearing; if we give him a hearing, we have to vote; if we do that, we have to treat him like garbage. Next thing we know? Pregnant.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm still in my not green jammies but will change later. Bobby did have lovely green socks when he left for work this morning. DH had a pink shirt on! It is really a super bad awful day here so I won't hassle him about it. Business stuff. Not good.
We are all about the green in my family, but I wouldn't consider saying something to anyone outside my family!

I love green and wear it as often as I can. I recently discovered I have 12 different green nail polishes and yes, both my fingernails and toenails are green right now. But again, this is just the normal state of Suzi.
Work is slow as crap today and I just want to sleep. But I have 3 calls between now and the end of the day, so I have to be "on" for those.
