I think I could even handle working Christmas or Thanksgiving better than this. The weather is going to be gorgeous outside and I'm going to be stuck waiting on people going to and from barbecues, the lake and fireworks. I'm going to be so jealous!

Tomorrow is going to be busy since it seems like everyone has Friday off. Friday, Saturday and Sunday will probably be slow but I'll be so jealous of people who are off and just roaming around in nice weather. I bet those days will drag too. Monday will be super busy/stressful again. Not to mention everyday is 2-10pm! Ugh. July 4th is my favorite holiday. I will learn my lesson for next year and try to get it off though no matter what other holiday they make me work.

I haven't been with the company for more than 90 yet. i wasn't there that long on labor day and i had gotten it. thats odd. i know i didn't get a raise till my 90day review but holidays didn't matter.

Since I haven't been there for 3 months they won't let me have it. But by Labor Day it'll be fine.
