Paddies Day (daytime) worked out okay for me but it didn't go according to my plan. Had planned to do mostly cash 'parade' jobs as per previous years but...
Started the day down to the Port to charge the car and have my morning
caffè latte. After that, got a FN job from Clontarf to Artane Castle. And worked most of the morning doing FN jobs in the suburbs with no mention of the Parade. Finally got a 'Parade' job around 11.30am and then it got stupid. The Guards closed off half the city and it was impossible to get around. FN should also put up a geofence for these festivals - the amount of jobs inside the parade perimeter was just ridiculous.
My final job was a peach. Got 3 African ladies on Pearse St going to 2 hotels in Ballsbridge. One lady was regaling the other ladies about her friend. She had a wonderful voice & was a fantastic mimic. I couldn't do the story justice but basically her friend met a guy at a party and went into the bedroom. After awhile, there were noises from the bedroom - '
Save me Jesus, Save me Jesus' with other banging sounds. She met her friend the next day at church and her friend was in fine voice shouting '
Save me Jesus, Save me Jesus' during the religious ceremony. It was one of the few times I wish a journey was a bit longer.
Today worked out very well too. Thought it was going to be a sleepy 'Sunday' as most would be saving their energy and money for the Saturday rugby and the Dubs on Sunday. But it was pretty busy so kinda surprised but happy
