4-Leaf Clover Sheet

Pardon me for being insensitive, but St Patty's Day is to day jobs what walking was to Christopher Reeves.

I'm grown up now. I have a mortgage and a fiancee and can grow a REAL beard that doesn't look like some kind of weird skin disease.

But it is days like today that I miss being a kid.

And by kid I mean a drunk-ass 22 yr old college student who made all living arrangements based on being able to crawl home from the bar. Literally.

I miss those days. I miss the ability to be completely irresponsible for an entire day. And then the next day when I was hungover.

So while some of you are out enjoying the warm weather and green beer, I'll be at my desk - thinking about my 401k and wondering if I'll be up late enough to catch Matlock.

But I'll still put some green food dye in my morning coffee.

It goes well with the Bailey's.

yeah being laid off sort of came in handy what with it happening two days before st patty's day.

Great.

Now I'm thinking about Matlock, too.

We should probably meet up later (before 4, obviously) and have some Jell-O.

Much like New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day is amateur night.

your streak of awesome could be in jeopardy.

I feel the same way! Everyone's going to be blacked out by the time I get off work.

And I only have time to drink a couple green beers because my mom asked me to clean my room tonight.

Life after college is weird.

Mmmmmm... coffee and Baileys.
Oh, and Chris (Page Seven) said it best!

I'm currently drinking coffee (at work) and now REALLY wishing I had some Bailey's. Thanks, Narm. You bastard.

In Old Greg voice: "Want some Bailey's? It's white and creameh..."

Page Seven is right, you know. Totally amateur night.

Putting green dye in beer is also about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. At least it gives some color depth to Bud Light.

Alls I know is that the cops are doing roadblocks tonight in my county. They know it's amateur night as well.

Grab a sixer of IPA and watch some Tivo'd "What Would You Wear?" or somesuch. Trust me, it will be awesome!

God I love Matlock. I'm jealous you can still watch it - even if it's past your bedtime.
