The dawn of the most important day in American history has come! In order to show support for all my foreign peeps, I am announcing that all European members of EverCrest are now American for the following day.

Except for Mortious.

Everyone is hereby allowed to kick Mortious in the testicles.

Happy Fourth of July!

I will hopefully be quitting my present job in celebration. (Although my main reason for doing so is the bullshit hours and low pay).

I'm not complaining but here it's barely 60 degrees Farenheit and raining. Very unlike last year's weather when we suffered through a horrendous canicule (heat wave).

Enjoy those fireworks!!

Supposed to be like 116 degrees here today. Not sure if that's fahrenheit or celsius. Or if it really even matters at that point.

Elena and I are going over to a friend's house today for a BBQ/fireworks extraveganza. Plus it'll be Mikey's first time out with a big group of people, so I'm sure everyone will be oohing and aahing over him.

Perhaps it's fate that today is the fourth of July. And you will once again be fighting for our freedom. Not from tyranny or persecution or execution, but from annihilation. We're fighting for our right to live... to exist. And should we win the day, the fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day that the world declared in one voice, "We will not go quietly into the night, we will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!

I live out in the middle of nowhere. To get TO the middle of nowhere, you have to cross two bridges that go over two lakes. These bridges are one lane of traffic each way, with no shoulder at all, and narrow lanes at that. In between these two bridges is the largest concentration of fireworks stands in the entire area. This is the only path to get to the middle of nowhere.

I spent an hour and a half crossing two bridges just to go home.

I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

As a 911 operator, my night consisted of:

"Oh my god they're setting off fireworks!!!"
"Yes, it's 4th of July. We'll let officers know"
"WHAT!? Aren't you sending someone?"
"No. But we will advise officers in that area"
"What's it going to take, my house burning down to get an officer?!"
"If that happens, call us back and we'll send the fire department"

Not much exciting happened. I was on 911 only, and therefore didn't take many fireworks calls except when people refused to call back on 311 just to appease them.

About the only notable call I had was a pregnant lady returning home from vacation to find her boyfriend/husband/whatever (she was kinda hysterical so I wasn't able to get much info) had shot himself in the face and was dead. Later once officers and medical arrived, they asked me to call the coroner. I let him know, and advise him that she's 8 months preggers and understandably freaked out. I also tell him we have trauma volunteers on the way for her, since sometimes the family members interrupt the coroner when they're doing their thing. He replies, in a deadpan tone that was practically straight out of a Law and Order or CSI cliche, "Wow. Guess he REALLY didn't want that kid."

It took every ounce of self control not to laugh on the recorded line, and I felt like a tremendous ass for it.

Hey for you to have to do such a stressful job as a 911 operator, I commend you for even still having a sense of humor, and for having the tact to know when to exercise it.

Heh heh. I get to handle the claims when their houses do catch on fire from fireworks. Hard to be serious.

I woke up and thought, "I bet my store's supposed to be closed for the holiday."

My manager didn't tell me I was closed for Memorial Day, so I figured the Fourth just slipped his mind as well. I called him to confirm; no answer. I called my other manager; no answer.

I drove to the main store and it was closed. So I went to my store, put up a "Closed for the holiday!" sign and locked up.

I went home, played Earthbound, and did laundry all day.
