Happy St. Patrick’s Day

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I’m at work now with my green on, and a handful of Irish CD’s ready to listen to all day. (Flogging Molly, Black 47, Prodigals, Young Dubliners, Seven Nations, etc. Couldn’t find the Pogues or Dropkick Murphy’s CD’s this morning.) Must be St. Patrick’s Day! The only thing missing is a Guinness to sip on while I work. Think my boss would go for that? 😉

As most of you know from reading my sites, I very closely identify myself with my Irish heritage. I’ve spent a lot of time studying Irish history, as well as the history of Irish-Americans. I have a great respect for the people of Ireland and all that they, and the early immigrants to America, have had to overcome. Yet with all the sadness, tragedy and hardships they’ve had to endure, you’ll find no group of people who enjoy everything life has to offer any more than the Irish. Take today to follow their example and enjoy all the good things in your life!

Hope everyone out there has a good, and safe, day!

    I just had someone at work ask about my weekend and I had to admit that, for the most part, we didn’t really do much. But in reality that’s not true. I finished reading Gonzo Marketing, (which was very good, and really makes you think!) made some adjustments to the PCHelp page, went to work…

    My boss called my house around 6:30 this morning to tell me that the office was going to be closed today, and Angela’s boss did the same even earlier, so we have a 4 day weekend to celebrate the holiday. On the other hand, I spent almost about 45 minutes outside trying to dig my…

    I spent a little more time knocked out from the Vicodin this past weekend than I planned to, but I started the process of getting the pictures loaded up on Flickr, so if you’re a visitor to my Flickr page, it’ll keep growing and growing throughout the week and probably into next week as well….

    Is it wrong to take so much pleasure from finding the errors in a PowerPoint presentation that was done at our Board Meeting earlier this week? It seems sort of mean, yet with every error I find, I laugh a little more… Let this be a lesson to you, when you’re recycling an old presentaion…
