the nice parking enforcement man from NY

My fun new phrase? "I'm blogging that shiZ." Ok, so I don't say shiz, but its for edification sake...The point is that whenever something funny happens, I believe I should blog it for others to share in the comedic moment of which I recently experienced.
So this funny experience went down on Monday evening, after Theology on Tap. It was a good night; heard a talk by a witty nun from Assisi who thought she had a vocation to marriage that would supply her with enough kids for a soccer team; hilarious. After the talk there was drinks, catching up with friends from College and meeting new faces. Its a good time. But I should back up, for the story really begins when we first arrived, parking the car. Were driving along Pitt street when I spot, ah, a spot. Parking spot to be precise. As we are pulling in I look up to the right hand side of the street to see the nice, friendly, green lettered sign which reads "2hour parking". I then consult my party who quickly agrees, "Oh def, we'll be fine here. Were only staying till 10pm." Now, it was about 7 at this point, mind you. But we were confident..now whether we just really wanted to get into the bar & enjoy our after work pint of choice and ciggy, or if we really thought we would not get a ticket, jury is still out... but, I'm sure both factors involved.
So, back to the bar. So around 10 we are getting ready to leave and I think to myself as I grab my keys out of my jacket, "Mm, the car. Well I hope its still there." So outside we go. We get distracted for a minute, but none the less start inching towards the car as we are talking to people. But then I see him - a nice man in what resembles a police-man's outfit. I think to myself, "Ah, he's a cute old man. With a small car/cart thing ....with tickets ....in his hand...shut!!" And then take off running. Luckily the car is not far. Even luckier, the nice, pudgy, parking enforcement officer/agent (yea i said it), was from upstate New York. And who's from upstate NY? Nope, not me, but someone in my car was. She knows who she is, and so for her, I devote this blog. AH, its those funny moments that are the best, fo sho. So here's to that certain parking agent, that certain girl from NY, and beer, bamf*

dreary

Ever feel like you don't want to get out of bed in the morning? Not the usual, oh gosh this stinks I have to get up, the light is so bright and its so cold outside of my covers sort of thing..but the nope, I jsut don't think I am going to get up. Can I really loose my job for not going in every day...Who made this rule of going into work everyday? It stinks.
For someone who does actually like their job too, its weird. Maybe its just the winter blues...Or the longgg weeks I have been having, I don't know, I just want to go back to bed is all I know. Hopefully it will be sunny tmrw.
