Counting down the seconds until Friday at 5PM

When you're a kid, you always have arbitrary rules thrust upon you for stupid reasons. In elementary school , we were only allowed to wear hats on Fridays, which as a hat girl, I found ridiculous. How is wearing a hat any more distracting than not wearing a hat? I would understand if hats were banned in order to prevent the spread of lice, but they weren't!

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear helmets, others stethoscopes. But some kind-hearted heroes work behind a bar, wielding rags and working for tips. We all know that bartenders have hard jobs. Wrangling drunks and scrambling for tiny tips isn't easy. But we don't often talk about the way bartenders look out for their clientele, whether they're offering an ear to a troubled person, or protecting women from creepy patrons.
