dispatches from the new world of work

Happy St Patty's!

Tom Peters in green hat

This horrid self-portrait (Orlando, 4:30a.m., 03.17) ... in Red Sox green ... is the best I can do in the way of a personalized St Patrick's Day cheerio. (And, no, I refuse to "smile for the camera" when I'm taking my own damn picture. Bad enough that I should do it at all.)

Absolutely classic! Thanks for the smile this morning...

Agreed. I found your deadpan expression priceless. Your absence of a smile did more than put one on my face, it sent me into laughter.

Someone come up with a caption for this thing.

Happy St. Patty's Day to you to Tom. I hope to see the Sox and the Brewers in the World Series this year! Go Brewers!

Jack Dee ... the deadpan Brit comic would be proud of you - did you train him Tom?

:) Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy one! Speaking of baseball - how should Selig handle the Bonds fiasco - if guilty expunge "records" and Pete Rose him?

Maybe the best most honest pic posted yet. On the other hand, webcam lens effects do not flatter...flattery - must be an Irish word!

Incredible picture. :)

Happy St.PatrickÂ´s day, Tom.

I usually have a similar expression at 4:30 a.m.!

Proof positive that this is not some empty flossy glossy propaganda rag.

Are you sure that isn't just an updated picture of the farmer in American Gothic? :-)

I think you ought to have a quiet but firm word with whoever chose that ghastly wallpaper... Happy St. Patrick'sDay. It's also my dog Paddy's birthday so happy birthday to Paddy, too!
