Hope everyone's getting drunk and having a bbq today. Try not to blow off any of your limbs if you managed to get some fireworks, and have a fun 4th of July.

I get to work in a not-crowded mall!

Seriously, you'd have to be a fool to go to the mall today. Unless you're working there....

I'm celebrating the 4th by kicking around the British kid who lives up the block.

Well, I'm not exactly sure he's British, but he sure talks funny....

"Here's to Booze, BBQ, and small explosives!"

Because my son decided to play PYRO with the folks next door instead of going to a ballgame I was comped tix for, I'm going to a baseball game tonight with a woman who will be looking at other men while I'm looking at other women.

Let the games begin!

I'm catching a matinee at the mall. Then, of course, a BBQ...

This is the one huge drawback to working in a theme park -- they're open every friggin' holiday. I missed out on trips to Atlanta and Tampa because all my friends have Monday through Friday jobs and have a long weekend. Me, I'll have a long weekend too.

Me, I always say that if I ran a theme park, I'd be closed on holidays. Say something like, "It's more important our employees be home with their families than us having a few extra days of revenue." I'd have people lined up for miles to work there.

Do you make time and a half at least, Poxy?

The store I work at was thankfully closed today. Got a bbq in about an hour, a party at my friend's house tonight, lots of fireworks, and the twilight zone marathon on right now (monsters due on maple street- hell yeah). This is looking to be a good day.

Er...not to taunt you working saps...

It's my dad's birthday today, but unlike previous years where we go to my grandpa's house and shoot of fireworks, he just wants to sit around the house. We didn't know what to get him for the longest time, so we settled on a bag of pistachios and a Wal-Mart gift certificate.

Tonight I'm going out to the lake where one of my friends has a cabin. Booze, BBQ, and Blowing Shit Up? Sounds like a plan to me.

I'll be working today too guys. The rest of the family just left for a BBQ as well, so I have a couple hours to sit and think about why I have this job before I go to it.

I'm so glad that I didn't have to work today. Our plant shuts down every July 4th weekend, so nobody had to work at all this weekend. Pretty nice

Actually, regulars like myself get eight hours of holiday pay, regardless of whether or not we actually work the holiday. So it's not all bad.

Just got home about a half hour ago. The mall was surprisingly crowded.

All of our most annoying customers came in today. Fucking hell...

So, you'd get paid even if you didn't work today? "Hello, it's Poxy, I'm not gonna make it in today, i'm sick. It's Virual-shark-sars-itous!"
Well no, if you call in sick you lose the holiday pay.
