So it’s a holiday and you guys are bbqing or chillin or whatever and I am working.  I have plans with a friend when I get off. I guess I’ll see how that goes.  Since I have to work on a lot of holidays I’ve made a conscious decision to have fun no matter what. The main thing is always festive headgear. I’m wearing a really tall hat that is very cat in the hat meets yankee doodle and star shaped beads around my neck that are red, white, and blue. The customers really dig it. I’ve gotten a lot of  compliments.  I’m not sure why. Is it really the hat or is it that I’m secure enough to wear a silly ass hat to work and act like it’s normal.  When the regional president came to walk through the store in march I was wearing a headband with shamrocks on them. They said “Let your…Sham Rock!”  He stopped and told me he liked them.  Thankfully I work at a place that allows you freedom to express your creativity and be yourself, much like the US.  So on this day that we celebrate freedom have fun and be free.  When this day is over know that you are free to do as you please within reason.  That’s what being American is all about.  Well guys, my break is almost over so I’m going to put my silly hat on and go back to work. Have fun and be safe today!
