Who you eyeballin’?
There’s a lot of land around the hotel I work in.
It’s an old country manor and originally had something in the region of 1,000 acres of land, most of which is either public or farm land now. It just so happens that the owner has an agreement with the local dairy farmer to let his cows graze on any part of his land in exchange for fresh dairy stuff. Handy, and delicious.
The thing is that because the land between the farm and the hotel isn’t fenced the cows go where they want when they want.
This means the little patch of greenery directly in front of the hotel is frequently populated by cows. Some would like this as adding to the rural aesthetic of the venue for their wedding. Some like it as a reminder that they’ve left the city life well and truly behind if even for just a day.
I hate it.
Those judgemental fuckers just stare at me when I’m handing out the champagne to the arriving guests. They stare at me while they munch on mouthfuls of grass and stuff. They stare at me without blinking, knowing that it freaks me out. They stare at me and they judge me. They stare at me and they mock me.
Do you know what it’s like to have a cud chewing bovine judge and mock you? Of course you don’t. But it happens me all the time.
I serve the guests drinks at the reception, they stare at me.
I park cars for the guests, they stare at me.
I take in the red carpet, and yes, they fucking stare at me.
It has to be the judging and the mocking. It couldn’t have anything to do with the fact that I have my hand under my apron rubbing out a sneaky one while staring back at them. Have you ever seen the nipples on a cow?
Udderly ridiculous.
Ahem.
