Just a small story to keep practicing...

Hope there aren't too many mistakes and thanks so much for all the corrections. They are really appreciated.

Ahora que estoy en Irlanda para el invierno estoy trabajando en un café. Es trabajo muy divertido ya que encuentro con mucha gente diferente todo el día. Nunca me aburro. Irlanda es conocido por el tiempo malo. Esta semana pasada ha habido mucho pero muchísimo viento. Creo que había una huricán en los E.E.U.U y recibimos el final aquí en Irlanda. Bueno... hay un señor que cree que dirige el negocio. Es el padre del jefe así que supongo que tiene algo de importancia... pero no como lo cree. De todas formas es un poco fastidioso porque intenta darnos ordénes. Ayer entró al café y empezó a mangonearme... le ignoré porque al rato dice lo mismo. Se enfadó y se fue de golpe. Cuando salió del café el viento sopló muy fuerte y entonces lo que vi fue tenía mucha gracia. Su peluca salió volando.... jajajaja... Tenía que perseguirla. Me dio mucha risa. Bueno... por si creéis que soy mala riéndome así, no es así... Ese señor es malhumorado y por duro que trabajes siempre encuentra algo para quejarse.


Now that I'm in Ireland for the winter, I'm working in a café. It's a fun job as I get to meet lot's of different people all day long. I never get bored. Ireland is known for it's bad weather. This week has been really windy. I think there was a hurricane in the States and we received the tail-end of it here in Ireland. Well... there is an elderly man that think he runs the business. He is the dad of the boss so I suppose he is of some importance... but not like he thinks. Anyway es un poco fastidioso because he tries to boss us about. Yesterday he came into the café and started bossing me. I ignored him becaue after a while he just says the same old thing. He got mad and left in a huff. When he went out the wind blew strongly and then what I saw was so funny. His wig flew off... jajaja... He had to follow it. It made me laugh a lot. Well... in case you think I'm bad for laughing like that, it isn't like that.... This man is really grouchy and no matter how hard you work it is never enough. He always finds a reson to complain.

As you know I'm still learning too but I thought I'd have a go for fun - I'd definitely recommend waiting for some other comments though je je smile

Does 'al rato' fit in there? shortly afterwards? or could it be siempre?

lo que vi fue tenía mucha gracia - maybe 'fue muy graciosa'?

Could it be estoy mala? if you might be considered bad just for laughing in this particular instance
