If I Had a Leprechaun
Have you ever had one of those days where you look at yourself in the mirror and say, “I really should have worked from home today.”
It started out innocently enough.
When the office assistant came bounding into my office with my coffee it was in a green mug. She then wished me a happy St. Patrick’s Day before skipping off to deliver cheer to someone else.
I turned on my computer, ready and raring to go, and noticed that my desktop wallpaper had been changed from one of my own photographs to a smiling (and insane-looking) leprechaun defending his pot of gold.
I quickly changed it back.
I then opened Entourage and had about a thousand St. Patrick’s Day chain letters (all sent from within the office) there in my inbox.
And just when I thought I had seen it all, I went into the break room for a bagel and saw that they had all, somehow, been dyed green.
I repeat, the bagels were green.
There’s a special place in hell for people who dye my food funny colors.

Green bagles… ewwww! My worst thing was coming back to the office from a client meeting this morning. My office is off of fifth and I had to deal with the insane people going to and from the parade. Ugh.

I can’t even imagine what a horror the subways were…

I agree, happy people falsely coloring my food should have special seats in hell too. Of course, they, like all the others trying to irritate me this week at the office may have an express train there if they do not exercise due caution.
Hope your Tuesday is less green and far more pleasant!
