WHAT IS PROTOCOL?

Is it okay to just mail it in the rest of the day, go down to the local watering hole, and get piss drunk on St. Patty's?

I have no problem doing it since I work for myself but I'm wondering what the 9-5 working folk do on this holiday. Since we got the start of March Madness (letter from the NCAA is on the way as we type to cease and desist all references to March Madness) tomorrow I figure most sports fans will decide to pull the "I got chlamydia from a girl last night and I can't come into work" excuse so they can watch it. I guess if you were smart you would have saved those vacation days for this week. There is the lesson kids. Always plan ahead if you want to get drunk and watch sports without fear of losing one's job.
