Even though I hated having to work the night of the 4th it didn't turn out as bad as past years at all. Maybe the rain had something to do with it or the way people feel these days but the power drinkers and 40 year old "teenagers" were not out in full force. It did take me forever to get there due to traffic problems downtown. It was total gridlock due to people running red lights in all directions. Once at work it was very busy for the first 2 hours but after that it was like everyone just went home. Plus lots of people with kids this year that just wanted to enjoy the fireworks. Not really a bad way for me to pick up a little extra "gambling" money at all.
I got a big laugh out of the 4th of July poll that showed 21 percent of Americans could not name the country we fought against in 1776! I bet if they would have asked them who won this years American Idol or Dancing With The Moron's winner they would have had better results....! Oh my we have some major problems right now in this country. Maybe the tide will turn starting this November but then again 21 percent is really pretty damn high.
The rest of my work week has been pretty good with few problems. I did learn that I have to take even more off duty classes as punishment for my bad review that I got last year. In short they have been trying to run me off and have me quit but I'm still holding in there. The classes are indeed a pain in the ass but something one must just put up with today. I only have 2 more days this week and then the weekend.
Tomorrow night family members are driving down from Tulsa to go eat pizza at this great place that is way out of the way. This family owned pizza joint has been open for about 15 years and we have been with them since the start. The pizza is just great as they use real cheese and make everything fresh. Yes it is about a 30 to 40 minute drive from where I live but it is worth it for sure. Everyone we take out there just falls in love with the place.
Well that is about all that it going on right now. I'm still reading that new gambling psyche book and need to take some time out this weekend to practice on my game. No telling when my next trip out will be due to these classes I now must take but I'm thinking about and looking at maybe the first week in September. Will keep everyone posted. Hope everyone has a great Wednesday. Time for me to try and get some more sleep before going into work.
