See PCB when you are enjoying your 4 days off think of poor me having to work and not getting to spend time with MY family.

I've never heard of anyone getting 4 days off for the 4th of July...at least nobody I know ever has.

Stupid Petco is open ALL the time....Sundays....I had to work Christmas Eve...New Years Eve...New Years Day...I swear they were even open on Thanksgiving.
Really Amy? OMG! Over here like EVERYONE is off, other than people who work in stores. (the 4 days is 2 weekdays, + Saturday and Sunday) I never realized it, but now that I come to think of it, people working in stores, like you for example, must feel horrible having to work when everyone else has the day off. I was planning on buying the tiels a play gym from Petco because its supposed to be on sale, but Karen really got me thinking about the store workers. I feel bad to shop while they have to work, and we're all enjoying the long weekend. Maybe I'll buy it sometime later. Anyway Amy, I'll be thinking about you since you don't get the day off. We were planning on driving and spending the weekend away from home; maybe drive to neighboring states just for sightseeing, or somewhere, but we're quite unsure of it. We might just stay at home and watch the fireworks.

I understand what your saying now Karen. Sorry that I misunderstood you. Its just that all my friends have been talking about the 4th of July sales and how they're going to go on a shopping spree. I think I'll tell them to think about the people working in stores and not being able to spend time with their families. Maybe they'll change their mind also.

On the good side, I went to the library today and there was a sign that said they'll be closed on the 4th and 5th of July. At least the librarians get vacation.
