Not the First Time, Probably the Last
Apr. 30th, 2009 11:20 amYesterday, I drove to work, and took the metro home. This was not a fancy way of commuting—it was me being an idiot.
This has happened before, and yesterday's story was similar in many ways to the earlier one. Except this time, instead of leaving right after work, I dawdled in the office for over thirty minutes (long enough for the meter to expire before I even left the building. Then I made it all the way home; I even managed to start taking off my work clothes.

ojouchan that reminded me that Oh shit, I need to go get my car back and it's probably been towed.
By the time I got back to the car, it had been illegally parked downtown for ninety minutes.
And I still didn't get a ticket!
I don't think this is ever going to happen again, because I can't imagine any situation where I'd be driving to work now that I'm on the day shift.

So that's yet another tribulation I'm bidding adieu.
