Maintenance


So on Monday I parked behind Mike so that meant I had to get up earlier (thumbs down), but we left at the same time. Of course Mike had to comment on this apparently amazing phenomenon, I pointed out to him he only has to put on clothes and shellac his hair and he is ready to go. THATS IT!

I am not a hottie, I am well aware of that, I don't even think I am that high maintenance despite what some people have said. But dude, do you even know the upkeep that is required to maintain me! I mean I do it all myself but come on! In the morning I lotion, prime, put on make up, de-frizz and straighten my hair and have to get dressed and out the door. That's just in the morning, there is also waxing, coloring my hair, getting my hair cut by a professional, facials, make-up that is semi-expensive and when I put it on you can't even tell I have make up on! Oh and I eat healthy and go to the GD gym, oh aside...the friggin gym is now only $10 a month and I can never get a machine, isn't it time for New Year's resolutions to be over!
So yea, it takes me longer to get out of the house because I can't leave the house with frizzy hair, and sallow skin...ain't gonna happen. Ew.

Parking Garages


So I have a very nice boss who when he goes away for 6 weeks he lets me use his parking pass, the garage that it goes to is very close to work so I don't have to schlep it on the commuter rail when its freezing out. Like I said, he is a nice boss. Anywho...I am confused why parking garages cause people to act like idiots who don't know how to follow directions or maybe use some common sense. Example: I was pulling into the garage early morning last week and several people got ready to pull in behind me, but the person in front of me was having issues getting her pass to work. Since this is the morning rush you would think the idiot in the Acura would say, get a ticket and go deal with the pass issue after she parks. No, that is not what the idiot in the Acura did, with a line of cars out of the garage she got out of her car and ran over to the office to whine. Now the guys in this office don't really have any incentive to move at a normal rate of speed, so the beeping got a bit more, umm...frequent. So idiot in the Acura gets back in her car and sits until garage man meanders over and tells her to TAKE A TICKET and pull to the side. Simple directions right? Well since Acura lady has expressed her extreme intelligence already you would think she could understand that there are cars behind her trying to get into the garage and perhaps she should pull over, you know, kind of out of the way. No...she goes into the garage and stops so now I can't get by her so no one can. Sigh.

She finally realized there were other people in the world after some frantic gesturing by garage guy and pulled about 6 inches forward so I could get by her and the flow of cars got moving again.

Lets not even get started on the people who walk down the middle of the ramps so you can't get by them, or the people who have no idea what size their cars are so they take about 20 minutes to pull in and out of a spot.
