4th of July weekend!

4th of July was hectic! Very, very hectic. What with all the citiots and the tourists and the people that do live around here doing last minute shopping. Yup, it was full. I was really glad that my shift was from 10am to 2pm so I didn't have to stay until nearly 9:30pm organizing aisles. Yup.

Citiots is a word taken from the (new) show Royal Pains and it's used to describe people that only come here for the weekend. I've expanded that a bit to also mean city+idiots.
Yup. They made it hard to get to work, then get back home. Cuz they were everywhere!

But that doesn't belong here, so XD. Just imagine a two way road with grass and semi-jungle on the sides and then people parking all over the sides. Semi-trying not to get into the jungle but throwing it into the jungle anyway for fear of some of us that live there ruining their precious cars. That and the occassional cop that goes around giving them all tickets. <3

Anyway, yeah.
Today was a weird day. I think the one in charge of making the schedules thought that it was going to be a hectic day so she assigned five of us to man our registers. Pretty much. XD But we were too many! And not many citiots since they were mostly trying to get to their homes. I was one of the lucky ones who was sent home early because, like previously stated, we were too many and because it was slow. :3 I did get to semi-mock all the citiots going on the other direction (aka, towards the metro area) in that huge traffic jam that they created (just because they wanted to get out early and not catch the traffic jam). XD Totally worth it.

And the way home was practically cleared of them and their tents (and BBQ sets), which made for a peaceful ride home.

Oh! I also got to work with miss Bitchy-bitch today. Guess who was all sweet to her all day? Yup, me! Yay! I think Alfred gave her a talking to because she pretty much avoided having too much contact with me unless it was absolutely necessary. JOY! <3
