Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed

Working in Door County, August customers are often crazier, meaner and worse tippers. This only worsens the moods of the workers. Coworkers' little annoyances are emphasized, tempers flare, energy is extremely limited. Nothing less would be expected when many people are working 5 doubles a week, often in a row, and hours bloat to accomodate the waterfall of tourists.

Right now, my body aches, my mind is working at a snail's pace, and the thought of waking up for work tomorrow does not make me smile...but stepping out of the restaurant, out of a uniform, into a clear night sky filled with stars always does.
