My 4th

I worked from 9am to midnight yesterday. Missing holidays is not too big of a deal for me anymore. I was deployed on my 21st b-day and was on a mission in Afghanistan for one Thanksgiving. I got to see some fireworks when I went out for a smoke, I had a 360 veiw of them, it was beautiful. The nice thing is that after work, thought the 4th was technically over, we all went out in the parking lot and partied with some free booze the restaurant let us have. It was a really great time. I can have fun pretty much everywhere and with anyone. If you get me in conversation I might be strong in opinion, but at the end of the day I try to enjoy everyone around me. I found out the catering chef has an unreal ability to throw crushed beer cans. I mean these things flew. I told him he's got to find some competition for it, I'm willing to bet one exists. Oh, plus I got paid time and a half for working on a holiday. Not too shabby. Way to go, work...
