Dela's Cold Day Parking Creed

It is bitter cold today and as for as I can see the only purpose if it is to remind me how much I don’t like cold weather. When it is this cold I want to park as close as possible to the building. Since I never arrive at 6:00 in the morning I don’t get a close parking spot. If the weather is nice I don’t mind the walk. At least I can tell myself I am getting some exercise. But when the weather is this cold I want to park in the lobby. Unfortunately the security staff won’t let me.

On cold days I resort to cruising by the close parking spaces and saying a little prayer that I’ll see someone pulling out of one of them. There are some folks who may get in 6ish even if they need to leave 7:30ish or 8:ish. I almost got one this morning. I could have if I had been just a tad more aggressive and run that woman over. After all it was my space. I saw it and I wanted it. That statement reminds me of the Toddler’s creed that used to hang on our refrigerator when the boys were little. The gist of it was if a toddler wanted something it belonged to him, even if he had just thrown it out 5 seconds before, or he had just said he didn’t want it. When it comes to close parking spaces and cold weather I adhere to Dela’s version of the toddler creed. Close parking belongs to me. The only problem is I can’t get anyone here to go along with that. “The Woman” who took my space should have known it was mine. She should have moved aside and let me have it. She is a pig cake, a bean brained pig cake.

Oh well in 3 weeks and 4 days I won’t have to worry about parking, at least not here.
