Thank God it is Friday

What a day! I spent an hour walking around in the hot sun because I was given vague directions to the building where I was to get my office key from. I would not have minded the walking at all usually, but I did not have on running shoes.


First, I end up at the wrong parking garage. You know the story, the signs labeling the garage were so little you can't read them until you are actually about to enter the garage. Well to my surprise my badge did not get me in. Why?? Could it be because I am not a Faculty Member. I was at the frickin Faculty garage. Then of course, someone drives up behind me. Surely they see that I can not enter the garage, right? Yeah right, this dude proceeds to sit there even after I kicked it in reverse trying to signal to him. That didn't work. So I figure if I pull forward he will let me slide and let me in. No, this guy pulls over a little bit so I can back out of this winding narrow road.


Now, mind you I drive very well, but backing up has always been a weak point. I know this, so this is the main reason why I make it a point not to back up for long distances. Well, now I am off to my challenge of backing down this winding narrow road, which mind you due to anxiety became even narrower and grew more turns. I make it out of the first stretch just fine. Then all of a sudden I feel a sudden jolt. That jolt was me jumping the curb. The damage could have been a lot worse, but I think it was bad enough considering my car is only 2.5 months old. Aint that a bitch! Now I have a scratched rim and a gashed in my tire. I guess things could have been worse. Oh yeah, they did get worse I had to walk an hour in cute shoes not tennis shoes to get my key to my new office.


At least now I am at home relaxing. My hubby doesn't feel well though, and he has to work from home tomorrow. So much for us going fishing.
