Moments of Truth
A couple of Fridays ago I had an insurance emergency that a very nice young lady from an insurance office in my office building took care of. She dropped everything she was doing on a late Friday afternoon and set my parents up with homeowners and flood insurance for their home. Today, she had a small emergency with her son and needed to pick him up from day care.
She couldnt because she couldnt get her car out of the parking lot.
Our office building has only 9 offices and the parking situation is pretty bad, considering that three of those office buildings are doctor's offices. All of us make do and while there are assigned and reserved parking spaces, we always work with each other. For example, if I need to park I can usually park behind an employee's car and, should that person need to leave, they let me know, and I quickly run out and move my car.
We're kinda like a small family here in this building, where we always do the "Good mornings" and "Good afternoons" and "have a great weekend!"
The newest occupants of the building are an attorney and his crew. They arent very friendly. No "Hi Vals!" from them, ever. Or Good mornings, afternoon or evenings.
Well, the insurance lady couldnt get her car out because one of the girls that works in the attorney's office was blocking her. So she went upstairs and knocked on their door. After five minutes of rigorous knocking, the girl finally opened the door and basically told her point blank and unapologetically "I am not moving my car. Deal with it." and then slammed the door on her face.
Nice eh?
Attorney office girl's car is the only car in the entire parking lot with an Obama 08 bumper sticker.

So what's to complain about? It sounds like she brought CHANGE to your building and its parking policies of the past.

you stop at a hardware store on your way home tonight, buy a small tube of clear silicone, and stick it in the key hole of the lawyer's office, the lawyer's car, and Barry's bumper sticker car.
Next week, do it again.
and the next week, do it again,
ect...

what a turd. I hate inconsiderate jerks. I hope the insurance lady managed to find a way to get to her son anyway.

this is why we need Obama's "civilian security force".
First of all, do you all need to drive to work in seperate cars? you do not have a "pretty bad" parking situation, you clearly have too many cars. The security force will facilitate car pooling.
Secondly, maybe you should work closer to home. the security force will assist you in switching jobs so that you can bike or even walk to work. not only will we have a healthier planet due to the decrease in pollution, we'll have healthier citizens too! and that will reduce health care costs.
Obama's CSF: "Forcing you to be excellent to each other" :)
