Independence Day was strange this year.
Having a Holiday in the middle of the week was unusual. The office closed early on Tuesday, which really just meant that the support staff went home early — the associates stayed as late as usual.
After work, I went to drag queen bingo at Shaw’s Tavern with Michael, Brody and Krystal. The host gave out a ton of prizes — half the time the people next to the bingo winner would get a prize as well.
Despite the generous prizes, going to drag bingo after a 12-hour workday was a poor choice. I was exhausted and totally unprepared for the shitfaced rowdy crowd. I felt like running out of the place after bingo ended.
I was in better shape Wednesday morning when we regrouped for brunch at Oz Arlington. This was our first brunch in Arlington since moving to D.C., and I now realize why D.C. people think that Arlington is such a haul from the city.
I guess I’m spoiled with my $8 Uber rides already.
