Too Tired for Fireworks

July 4, 2008 on 1:39 am | In Holidays, Work |

The past week has been so exhausting that I don’t think we’ll be able to stay awake and watch any fireworks displays this year. Our town always has a great show, with free concerts and a great vantage point of sitting on the riverbank to watch them shoot over the river and across the bridge.

We had so many drivers out and routes down that we’ve been covering them ourselves and scrambling to get extra help for the past 3 weeks. I just can’t bounce back from double shifts like I used to. And since we work 7 days a week, there’s no rest for the weary.

But I hope that everyone who enjoys the fireworks this year has a wonderful time and stays safe. Happy Fourth of July America!
