Things are so weird around here the days leading up to the 4th of July. I guess I don't blame folks - it's the only holiday where it's warm enough to go outside without jackets on. So almost every town around has its own Independence Day festival.
The bank's drive-through exits on to Main Street, and the city has Main Street blocked off for the carnival and food booths. We still had people driving up, then having to drive around barricades to get off of Main Street. So we parked a car in the driveway, and people were still walking up and saying "you know there's a car parked in your driveway?"
All the local businesses are expected to come in to get extra change for the weekend. Many of them have food booths, too, so they need extra change for that as well. But they procrastinate. We expect most of the businesses to come in this afternoon, when the tellers are trying to balance.
In addition to customers coming in for spending money for the 4th, it's Friday and Social Security day. We expect to have tons of extra traffic in the lobby today. We've had people calling since yesterday, asking if we were open and asking how to get to the bank with Main Street blocked off.
To get home tonight, I'll have to navigate multiple detours from roads being blocked off for parades and festivals. After I make it home, I'm not leaving my sanctuary until it's time for work Monday.
