Fourth of July Follies

I almost got stuck at work because we had what we thought was a no-show. This would have been only annoying, if I hadn't been in mega-pain. I had Mr. Samoa bring my pain pills. Then, the girl called. There had been a mixup as to what shift she was supposed to work, and she came flying in. So I only got stuck for two hours. I felt horrible even thinking about complaining, as the guy I was working with was pulling a double! But, alas, chronic pain calls. Oh well, wouldn't be a holiday at work without a crisis.
