It's St. Patrick's Day
Feel free to get drunk at your desks. I noticed the geeks over at Manka Bros. Online made the internet site all green. That's cute. Just change it back by midnight tonight (Eastern time). I also noticed This Date In Manka Bros. History is a date we would all like to forget. It should have been forgotten but those freakin' geeks had to bring it up again.
Yes, Manka Bros. used to have an annual St. Patrick's Day Parade (started by my father Harry Manka in 1947). And, yes, several people died in the 1974 parade (including the great comics Leonard Schneider and Allen Konigsberg). All the people who died, died doing something they really enjoyed - drinking to excess until they fell off a float and got crushed by another float.
I suppose anger, floats and booze don't mix. Live and learn.
Happy St. Patrick's Day and remember - if you're going to get drunk - do it at your desk and get some work done. There will be cocktail carts going around the various buildings with mixed drinks ($10) and green beer ($12).
FYI, today, I am putting the finishing touches on a new strategy for our Theatrical Group which I will unveil at some point this week.
P.S. - I have raised the entry fee of the NCAA March Madness Pool to $1,000 - because I think it's time to clear out all the losers in cubicles who keep winning this thing year-after-year.

Awesome! Thanks, sir. I'm waiting for the cocktail cart. Great idea to help motivate the troops.

That certainly is green. It should be changed back as the chairman said.
Fabulous. Way to be in the St. Paddy's Day spirit!
I look forward to hearing how you'll change the Theatrical Group. Everyone in that sector is in big trouble of fading away without a change of model.
