For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....

This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

This reminds me of the story of Dock Ellis, a professional baseball player in the 1970s, who pitched a no-hitter while he was on LSD. He’d misread his schedule.

Glad to see my favourite 🇮🇪 Irish thread from “there” here. It deserves to be made into a short 🎥

It has to be asked if the President has seen this thread, remembered the initial meet and greet, and said anything to its author?

Right, this was when I was eighteen so don't judge me too harshly. Or if you think drugs are cool and I'm a legend, fill your boots. Anyway, at the time I was working through college in Dublin with bar shifts at [redacted] music venue. One day I get a call on my day off.

the17thqueen.bsky.social•360 days ago

LEGEND

seamas.bsky.social•361 days ago

Way the gig worked, you'd either get Fri or Sat off. This week it was Fri, happy days. My manager, let's call her Dympna, pipes up on the phone: "So, when you come in this evening, just a few things to remember". I'm like, hold on Dympz, I'm off this eve, jog on. She corrects me.

seamas.bsky.social•361 days ago

"Remember I said you could get all of Saturday off if you just worked 2 hours tonight?". And of course THEN, I did suddenly remember, she'd said it to me as I was leaving the building and my conscious work brain was doing somersaults to get out of the place.

seamas.bsky.social•361 days ago

She could have told me I was to have my foreskin tattooed with a harpoon and I would have given her a smile, thumbs up, and a flurry of yeps to get out of the place. I was eighteen. On minimum wage, and - bear in mind this is really saying something - my absolute minimum effort.

seamas.bsky.social•361 days ago

So, I'm bang to rights and I say "yeaaah, of course, sorry just got my days mixed up, I'll be there no problem" and she says, "this evening will be fine, just the head of the [redacted] and some VIPs, few hours then you can take off".

All good. Except for the one thing.

seamas.bsky.social•361 days ago

At that very moment, I was in a mate's house on Dame St, relaxing with (I thought) nothing to do for the evening.

Now you have to remember that, before dabbing and fortnite, kids used "drugs" to get high and I was, occasionally, adjacent to them.

This story got me to buy your audio book, "Did Ye Hear Mammy Died." I then forgot I had it in my library until the other day, when, in despair of our election results, I was looking for distraction and found your sweet and funny narration just the balm I needed.

seamas.bsky.social•168 days ago

Well, that's extremely lovely to hear - thanks so much for listening!!

Future scholars will judge this story to be a foundational work of Western civilization. It's the Irish Iliad.

FWIW, I had no idea you, writer I follow for some reason but mostly the writing, we’re also the accidental K-Prez person.

I'm just sat here trying to decide if it would be better or worse if it had been Michael D. Higgins, due to him looking completely imaginary even when you're stone cold sober.
