thursday.
i need to ask a serious favor of you dear reader:
IF IN 365 DAYS I SAY "I'M WORKING AT THE BAR ON ST. PATRICKS DAY" PLEASE DRIVE TO MY HOUSE AND KILL ME.
this is it. my solomn vow.. no way again.
i worked early and i worked a short shift and i'm still this disgusted.
lets see:
* under age teen girls giving me attitude because i wanted id from them
* same underage teens giving me more attitude when i wouldn't sell their drinks to the 3 or 4 random strangers they asked to buy it for them
* same girls bigger attitude when i waved and said "bye bye"
* loud party horns (sadly those who blew the horns in the bar were pelted with ice and bottle caps)
* shots, shots, shots, shots, shots
* bombs, bombs, bombs, bombs
while walking to the bus stop (smart enough this year not to try to get out or pay to park:
* guy doing hillbilly nose blow on sidewalk
* guy with pants pulled down smacking his own ass
* drunken loud idiots yelling at float balloons "hey green guy"
* broken glass
* being stuck in a literal crush of people
* watching the lady in front of me in the crush try to protect her baby from all the people slamming into and shoving her
* did i say loud idiots... oh yea
* large hats, wigs, shamrock whatevers
- then the best was i was sitting quietly at bus stop - wrong bus pulls up and drives off these 2 old old old tiny women come running over (there was a 30 something indian guy obviously just got out of work coincedentally walking in front of them) they get to the bus stop and start yelling and he and i for not holding the bus...."what's the matter with you.. we were yelling for you to hold the bus..but no you're too good to help us.. well i wish bad things for you... you'll probably go to hell.. bad things happen to people who can't be bothered to help others out..." then they went after the dude cuz i stepped out of the shelter (to keep from saying "shut it granny") anyway they're yelling at him "you're young you could've run after the bus but i guess you're better then everybody else... well i hope you have bad fortune" as if this weren't enough (ENOUGH!!) they told this to anyone who came to the bus shelter, they told everybody on the bus how awful we are and lastly the one lady wouldn't get off the bus until she told the driver who was about to shut the doors on her. so there you have it. st. patricks day in downtown cleveland. next year... go to florida.. go anywhere, stay at home and eat worms whatever avoid avoid avoid. (did make nice $$ though but my sanity at this point is more valuable).
my friend michelle just called from a rocky river bar saying "be glad you're at home - its disgusting out here" yeah dude i know.
other then that what?
i suppose you should enjoy your cake and for god sake no hillbilly nose blowing - ever anywhere.
okey dokey on to friday
me
another reason i know i've been in the biz too long... a dude walked in the bar by himself, regular guy, nothing remarkable... but i could tell just by looking at him.. like i was looking into a crystal ball that within 1 hour he'd be making trouble, bothering people and need to leave... prophecy... yes. was i right... of course.
