Having some Greek food and a couple of drinks. Anyone care to join me for the end of the world?

May as well go out with a buzz...

An appropriate beverage for the end of all things: Irish Death!

Slunge!

Don't you love that?

I actually have very little going on at work tomorrow, and therefore, it's sort of the weekend already.

But, I could get so much more done in 4 days, I tell you.

That will undoubtedly change by the time I get to work tomorrow. But at least I don't have a freakish thirty people on my schedule, as happens sometimes...

(I'm the RT who does pulmonary function testing), and tomorrow, I have no one on the schedule, due to the holiday and weather, probably. I'll use the time wisely, though.

Then...

I'm having Greek lasagna (yes, apparently there is such a thing...) and an Irish Death.

Ah, your fleur-de-lise does me a world of good. My ancestry is mostly French, with some Welsh and Irish thrown in...

Irish Death is a porter, like Guinness, but a little sweeter. Good stuff!

I'm marking that down on my to-do list for next week when I'm off work. Haven't had any in a good long while.

Quick question, though:

What do we say to each other if we're still here tomorrow?...

If the world does end, I will miss dolmades (and also baklava).

I had a beer tonight. It was a "fin du monde" in honor of the occasion.

I think that's a good sign, don't you?

Preliminary reports from across the International Date Line in New Zealand are favorable...

and I brought home some Innis and Gunn cask-aged beer that should be cold by now so yes, I think I will join you. All I have for work tomorrow is the department party and gift exchange - then about a half day on Monday and then I'm off until 1/2/13...

assuming it doesn't go all pear shaped tonight.

Cheers!
