women’s day

“This is why March is a women’s month..”

Despite the weather everyone is still gathered at the coffee machine, a few in snow bibs.

It’s women’s day in Europe. March 8th. Usually celebrated with flowers, but in Trakiya we are kicking through slush.

“Why is it a women’s month?”
I ask bending over, squinting through the steam, to make sure the coffee mix is actually included this time and the machine isn’t just filling my cup with hot water for 40 stotinki again..

“ha!
look around you, America..
it’s because she’s an ornery bitch!”
