Welcome to the most important holiday of the year – St. Patrick’s Day. There used to be a time when I really got into it (not the Irish part, so much, but the heavy drinking that took advantage of both of my major ethnic heritages – Irish and German), but, alas, like all holidays it seems to mean very little to me now. I mean, I’m at work today (and, even worse, tomorrow), for one thing. Plus I just can’t hammer ’em down the way I once used to (just don’t look at the official definitions of “binge drinking” and “heavy drinking” because they’re what I would consider taking it easy – I shudder to think how they’d have defined my college years). So I’m sitting here all alone wearing a green shirt in my suffocating windowless office.<\/p>\n

Alone, because the person I work with had to have emergency surgery over the weekend, and will probably be out for at least the rest of this week (if he comes back tomorrow, he’s a fool – when you have a legitimate excuse to play hooky, go for it).<\/p>\n

Not that I really mind having the office to myself, but it means if something bad happens, everybody will be looking at me. Plus this puts me on-call for the third week in a row (which kinda sucks, because even if you don’t get a call, you’re kind of waiting for something terrible to happen, and hope you can deal with it). <\/p>\n

If all that wasn’t bad enough, just as my latest keg of beer was getting really good, I killed it last night. I really need to be more patient with this stuff and let it age longer before I tap it.<\/p>\n

Plus, while I have two batches fermenting in the basement right now, they won’t be ready for at least three weeks – and I really out to hold off for six. I did have the foresight to pick up a few the other day, but it’s just not the same.<\/p>\n

Oh well, sucks to be me, I guess. <\/p>\n

Have a happy, and safe, St. Patrick’s Day out there.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
