st patricks day


lucky me. i happened to be working sunday during the st patricks day parade, which went right past my bookshop. i have never liked this holiday, and like it now even less having spent 6 hours being yelled at by drunken irish men. they shouted about everything. they wanted a toilet, they wanted a place to sit (IN A BOOK SHOP) and they got offended when we told them that no, they couldnt walk around the shop with their beer. when the day finished and we took of the tills, my boss said at least we now have 364 days of peace until they come back again. thanks god.

i dont mind people celebrating st patricks day or any other holiday. i do mind people coming intoxicated into my shop and throwing books on the ground and being obnoixious. not only is it disrespectful to the books, i have to clean it all up at the end of the day, and that just sucks.
