_Started Typing: 1:11 PM ET Clicked Reply: 2:44 PM ET_ Happy St. Paddy’s Day to those who give a darn! 🍀 I give only the smallest of darns, myself, despite being 50% Irish: I’ve never been one to mark the day by going out/drinking, so it’s mostly just like any other. But when I chose which t-shirt to wear this morning, I _did_ pick a faded Guinness shirt that I got at a Kohl’s a long time ago. 🙂 If I were gonna be on camera or out in public I’d add my silver shamrock earrings, but today has been/is likely to continue being pretty solitary. (not complaining!) I succeeded in accomplishing very little yesterday. 😁 Mostly I just watched a lot of TV, but I did make some progress on my nephew’s Batwing. With new Lego sets, the pieces come in numbered bags for easier assembly: each bag covers a certain number of steps, and contains just the pieces you need for those steps. Because this is a set that I disassembled and am putting back together I don’t have the numbered bags\*, but I have the build instructions so I’m tracking my progress by how many “bags” I’ve finished: there are 12, and I’ve finished 4 (33% done!). It’s finally starting to look bat-like: [https://i.ibb.co/S459DVD0/Batwing-Bag-04.jpg](https://i.ibb.co/S459DVD0/Batwing-Bag-04.jpg) \*The main difference is that it can take a while to find the pieces needed for each step: instead of only searching through the pieces in that particular bag, I’m searching through all 2300+ pieces at once. I’ve separated and organized them, but it still takes longer. [2:20pm: I just exchanged a few emails with the recruiter for the position I interviewed for on Friday; she asked about my salary requirement, and when my coverage ends. I hope this means she’s working on an offer…the stress/not knowing is going to kill me!!] > [@(Old) Who, me?

Ahhhh, gotcha! Thanks for explaining how your place does it. 🙂 > [@(Old) Who, me?

Ha! 😂 I don’t hate that idea, but there’s more to me than Lego…like being a jazz singer…hmm, I wonder if I could make the sign on my Lego jazz club work?? One problem with these avatars is that they’re so tiny: it’s often hard to tell what they are! I’ll definitely have to do some thinking, and experimenting with images. 😃 > [@scareyfaerie](#): > > I don’t even like Guinness > [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Nor do I. > [@The\_Stainless\_Steel\_Rat](#): > > I don’t care for Guinness Sometimes you guys make it hard for me to love you… 🥺 > [@dogbutler](#): > > I love Guinness That’s more like it! I can’t drink beer anymore since my bariatric surgery (carbonation is a no-no), but I miss having a ~~meal-in-a-glass~~ Guinness every now and then. > [@Rilchiam](#): > > Ask A Manager > [@liirogue](#): > > I love AAM! Same here! I signed up for the weekly email, but I only read the “five answers to five questions” columns (the ones where the title ends with “and more”). With the others, I got tired of reading an interesting question only to be directed to another publication/site for the answer. I get enough out of the 5/5 columns, though! 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-top-o-the-mundane-to-ya-a-st-patricks-day-mmp/1015709)._
