We’re so used to doing what we want, when we want, where we want, that when Mother nature socks it to ya with a snowstorm…..we’re only good for about a day, before cabin fever starts to hit us. Last Wednesday was a snow day for all the schools….many businesses were closed…..everyone was stocked up on groceries…..it was like a free day off in the middle of the week….a get out of jail free card.
But, by Thursday, everyone is itching to get out….and when Friday hit, it was like opening the flood gates! They poured in the door Friday night! We’re Free again!
We were packed, and everyone wanted to have a good time! And we did!
The rush started early…the staff was all “adrenelined” up…..The place was rocking…all were in a festive mood….we had all the elements for a dream weekend…..cabin fever had hit hard……Saturday should be just as busy……this will definitely make up for being closed on Wednesday.
Ah, but the best laid plans….blah blah blah……..can be stymied once again by Mother Nature. Rumors of more snow started spreading Saturday morning….maybe a couple of inches….maybe just a dusting.
By the time I was heading into work Saturday afternoon, I had to take a broom outside with me to clear the snow off the car. There was a good 4 inches on the car, and it was still coming down! The roads sucked, big time….there weren’t even any tire ruts to follow….just random tire trails that ran out after 50 yards….and then the snow kind of jerked your car around a little.
So much for the dream weekend.
However we were all entertained by the busboys predicament as he tried to exit the parking lot at about 5:00 p.m. He got his car stuck on the road, right in front of the entrance to the parking lot. (Not a good spot) A police car happened to be driving by and stopped to help. The cop got in the busboys car and tried rocking it out, to no avail. So then he decided to push the busboys car with the police car. (We were all watching in great amusement, with out noses practically pushed up against the window) So the cop car pushed the little car…after a few tries, he got it shoved back into the parking lot. Then the cop car got stuck. (C’mon, ya gotta laugh) Being a heavier more powerful vehicle, he had it out in a couple of minutes. Shows over, time to go back to meandering around a mostly empty building. Saturday sucked.
What about Sunday? Unless you’re working in a sports bar, Super Bowl Sunday brings everything to a screeching halt. And… we are not a sports bar.
Oh well, maybe next weekend will be the things dreams are made of.
