Laboring On Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend is full of fun and excitement for so many. People are out enjoying their last summer vacations, partying, going to BBQ's with friends and family, drinking beer and just having some good old fashion American fun. Then there are those of us Americans who are still left laboring throughout the weekend. I mean, afterall, the entire country can't just take the weekend off, right?

Well, it isn't that I get so much that I am angry that I am always forced to work on these types of holiday weekends as it is that I become humored by it. I have become accustomed to the fact that holiday weekends can be some of the most adventuresome. The weekend has already started of with a bang... there were two incidents last night where people were not just casually taken to the hospital for illnesses, they were rushed to the hospital for life threatening ailments.

People get wasted on holiday weekends, especially Labor Day...



I think they wake up at about a quarter to four in the morning and pop open a can of Bud Light to get their day started. By the time the evening rolls around everyone's brains have turned into what I can only describe as jello. All of the weed smoking and beer along with the classic 80's tunes they've been listening to all day has clouded their judgement. With all of the beef that is consumed on Labor Day weekend at BBQ's I wouldn't be surprised if food poisoning or Mad Cow disease was a factor in the insanity as well. Now the fun begins...



This is about the time where if you happen to be traveling the roadways, and I don't recommend that you do, you will notice an increased amount of emergency lights on the side of the road. This is because everyone who was having 'so much fun' all day, decided to go ahead and drive home. The person pulled over can only mutter... "No officer, that isn't my joint in the ashtray, my Bud Light in the cup holder, or my Kenny Roggers in the CD player!"



I would rather not be working on Labor Day weekend. However, I plan to at least be entertained by what I must be forced to see over the weekend as anyone else who must work should, as well. I hope that everyone else has a fun and safe weekend.
