Guinness and stuff

I had my first pint of Guinness last night. I'll get to what it was like later. I just wanted to point out something peculiar I've noticed here so far. No matter what you buy, you'll get a receipt for it. I bought a pint, and I got a receipt for it. I'm going to have to steal part of Mitch Hedberg's stand-up routine right here but, seriously......"We do not need to bring ink and paper into this transaction. I give you the money, you give me the donuts (or pint in my case). End of transaction!" I saved that receipt. Cheesy, yes I know, but it just felt right. Here's the stand up bit. Dunno why its in anime format. But, whatevs.



In other news, I began job hunting today. I don't think I did the best I could but I did give my CV (resume) to a manager at a cafe I overheard was hiring. He was nice and said, he'd call me for a trial. That made my day. I somewhat think it helped that he wasn't Irish. I have not a clue where he was from but not Ireland. I just overheard a couple saying that it's really hard to tell who's Irish or not these days. Dunno if that was meant as a bad thing or just a matter of fact thing. I'm still new here and have a lot to learn so I dunno.

Last night, I also met a friend of a friend's who's from New York but living in Dublin. That was fun. She was nice and its nice to have a friend when I don't know anyone here. What else, what else? Oh yes! That pint! To be honest, it tastes the fucking same. It's bollocks that it tastes different here. The only difference is my pint glass was smaller, I payed the barman in Euros and I got a bleeding receipt!
