Man, what a day! I’m tellin’ ya, being a bartender in Pasvalys is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded. So, I roll into work at this cozy little joint on Vytauto street, right? The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m thinkin’, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I’m behind the bar, just setting up. You know, pouring some ice, lining up the glasses, and boom! In walks this group of rowdy locals. They’re loud, they’re wild, and they’re ready to party. I mean, it’s like they just got off the bus from some crazy adventure. They plop down and start ordering shots like they’re going outta style. I’m talkin’ about vodka, beer, and whatever else they could think of.
Then, outta nowhere, this dude spills his drink all over the bar. Like, seriously? I just cleaned that! I’m fuming inside, but I gotta keep it cool. So, I laugh it off, grab a towel, and clean it up. But man, I’m thinkin’, “Why can’t people just drink like normal humans?”
After that, things get even wilder. This girl, I swear, she’s like a tornado in a dress. She starts dancing on the bar! I’m like, “Girl, this ain’t a club!” But the crowd loves it. They’re cheering, and I’m just standing there, shaking my head. I mean, it’s Pasvalys, not Ibiza!
Then, I get a regular, old Mr. Šuminas, who’s like the unofficial mayor of this place. He comes in, orders his usual beer, and starts telling me about his cat. I’m like, “Dude, I love cats too, but can we talk about something else?” But he’s all in, showing me pics of his fluffy buddy. I can’t help but smile. It’s these little moments that make the chaos worth it.
But then, the mood shifts. This couple comes in, and they’re clearly having a fight. Like, shouting and throwing daggers at each other. I’m just trying to pour a drink, and they’re making it awkward. I’m thinking, “Can you take that drama outside? I’m trying to serve drinks here!”
And just when I thought it couldn’t get crazier, the power goes out! Yup, right in the middle of a busy night. The whole place goes dark. People are freaking out, and I’m just standing there with a flashlight, trying to keep the vibe alive. I’m like, “Hey, who wants a candlelit drink?”
Finally, the lights flicker back on, and everyone cheers. I’m relieved, but then I see the time. It’s already past midnight! Where did the time go? I’m exhausted, but the crowd is still hyped. I pour another round, and we’re all laughing about the power outage.
By the end of the night, I’m wiped out but happy. I love this crazy little town of Pasvalys. It’s got its quirks, its wild nights, and its unexpected moments. I mean, who knew a day could go from chill to chaos in a heartbeat?
As I close up, I’m thinking about how tomorrow will probably be just as wild. But hey, that’s the life of a bartender, right? Bring it on, Pasvalys! I’m ready for whatever you throw at me next!
