Ok....that sucked.
I just got in from eyelevel.
I have never realised how....unsafe I could be at any given moment, in that place, alone by myself.
I was sitting in the gallery, doing inventory by myself, when this guy starts cursing at the top of his lungs about...something.
Now, it is the North End, this isn't all that unusual, really.
So I'm just like, yeah...whatever.
He seems to be fairly close to the gallery, just based on volume, so I'm definitely not going to check it out.
Then, all of a sudden, he comes into view and starts just wailing on our sidewalk sign. He destroys the thing and then wanders away, grumbling.
Holy Shit. It's like, 5 min to closing, and I have to leave the gallery.
And I couldn't decide if it was safe, or if I should call someone, or what.
So...I wait a few more minutes, and go out to clear up the pieces of the sign. As I'm doing that, a police van drives by. So I flag them, and explain. I guess they're looking for the guy.
I have never walked home faster in my life.
On the way, I saw 4 more policemen, on foot.
Crazy.
