friday after the fact

so, yeah...it was effing hot last night.  like, hot hot.  the thermometers in the kitchen usually read about 80 degrees (they're on the opposite side of the line from all the hot equipment) and last night they were pushing 95.  it was god awful.  and it was slow, which made the heat much more noticable.  it was slow right up until i was about ready to skate out of there, then we got a couple tickets, then a couple more, and wouldn't ya know it i was there for another half hour.  oh well.  i got all my stocking done while it was slow so i didn't have to bust ass just to get out of there.   i think it was slow cause it's one of the last couple weekends before all the kids go back to school (college and otherwise), and in montana, that means a lot of folks will be camping and trying to squeeze a few extra fun things into the last bit of summer.  tonight is my friday (even though it's saturday), and hopefully it will be busy.  i need tips!
