high water and low-level boredom

I've worked for six days in a row today, and I'm scheduled for another three, before I have one whole day off. This high water business hasn't ended (we're currently at 12.57 feet), and even if it does, Rose Festival begins on Thursday.

I had entirely forgotten that we staff the bridges full time during Rose Festival, as well.

It's not too bad, as I've lucked myself into the swing shift for all of these hours, and if I play my cards right on Thursday, I'll get to open the bridge for some pirate ships! They're not real pirate ships, of course, but any action would be sweet at this point, as I've been spending the last week watching TV, and trying not to be bored witless. Some times, I even won.
