Mardi Gras

divecop
Mardi Gras is in full swing and it sucks. Living off two to three
hours of sleep a night, putting up with drunks and idiots along with
people who should be charged with aggravated stupidity. Not to mention the weather is bad with cold and rain more so than not.
Watching people stand in the rain to catch a 2 cent pair of beads
and when they get whacked in the head with a handful they want
medical attention and blame it on the dude on the float. Parents
watch their kids get hit by a tractor or float and complain about
it. Where the hell are they when this happens? Getting another beer
from the cooler? Anybody want to trade? I've bout had enough of this.

    I'll be down there trying to avoid getting hit on the head by beads, keeping an eye on my kids, so they don't get hit by a tractor and drinking a lot of beer, but it will be Barqs Rootbeer.
    Hang on, it is almost over and think of all that overtime money that you can give your wife, bless her heart. [:D]

    Wife is a paramedic, working the same hours. She's going to have a
    nice check also. Maybe when this is over we can finally relax awhile
    until the St. Patrick's parade and the Irish-Italian parade. sheesh.

    Does that mean you get to keep your overtime check? [:D]
    Hang in there, you got through it before, you will do it again.

    We were going to get out of town for the Holiday but my wife shattered her shoulder and does not want to travel now. The weather has been crappy. I have not been shooting in three weeks. Stupid parades blocked the streets to my house and I had to park my car and walk home from the hospital. The trash strewn streets are a bummer too.

    Mardi Gras bah humbug

    Come on down here and just stand by me. Seems like everyone on the
    floats wants to throw beads to cops and the medics. Get tired of
    dodging them.
