I'm back in the pub whilst trying to find something more intellectually stimulating that gathering data for PlayStation. The job may have sounded good, but day after day of putting up posters and finding out whether Joe McDonald has x game or y game in stock... can quickly become the equivelant of asking whether a person would like fries with their order. Just incase one may be wondering why I gave up the company car, pay and playstation.....
Last Sunday was the 'auld firm' match between Glasgow Rangers and Celtic. It was a day of love, football and false advertising. I worked the game behind the bar, with a thumping, aching headache akin to ones brain expanding whilst your head conversely shrinks. Needless to say my humour was at an all time low. Great result, as Rangers won 2-0 (horray!), but I wonder how much crap bar staff can and should put up with.
If you can't handle being heckled whilst you work, don't work behind a bar. However, sometimes people say things to you, probably as a joke, which can touch a raw nerve. Sometimes though, a flippant statement can help you put so much in your life into perspective. of course, sometimes it can just plain old fashioned hurt.
