I was in the kitchen this morning, preparing my oatmeal, and a co-worker walked in. I don't know her name, but we're friendly and chat when we both happen to be in the kitchen at the same time. She also compliments my cube when I decorate it.
This morning, she told me that she asked my fellow buyer and cube neighbor, if I was Irish. He wearily replied, "I think so" with a sigh. The woman said, "I can't wait to see what she does for St. Patrick's Day!"
This is the same fellow buyer who scowled at my Christmas decorations and threatened to remove my Valentine's Day decorations. All with a slight grin, as if he were joking, but I don't think he was. I think he genuinely hates decorating.
Hmm.
It's unfortunate that he sits next to me.
In a shocking twist, it was my SUPERVISOR who actually took down my heart paper garland, in a fit of humorous Valentine's Day disgust. Imagine her surprise when she walked through the office later that day, only to find that the Valentine's Day garland she had stolen had MAGICALLY REAPPEARED!
Ha!
I bought two. Just in case a tragic event like this should transpire.
Do not mess with my decorations. I mean it.
However, I really love my group, so I have compromised with Mr. Cranky Non-Decorating Co-Worker and Ms. I Have No Holiday Spirit. I have agreed to only decorate on St. Patrick's Day proper. I see now that I may have pushed them a little too far with four days of red hearts and frilly garland.
If it weren't for this kind of drama, my life would be so boring.

I'd much rather have little dramas than big ones. Boredom can be a blessing.
I'd be tempted to walk down the hall whistling "You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch."
People who don't like decorating things are boring, dull, depressed people.
Srsly.
Hang a drunken leprechaun for me, will ya me lassie?
