This morning on the way to work I stopped for my coffee. I parked in a legal spot next to the Diesel fuel pump and went inside the store. The whole milk dispenser was empty so the woman went to get more. I refuse (if possible) to use the non dairy creamers which are oil based, white-out substitutes at best. It took about 5 minutes. Not long? No except for when you are due at work in that same 5 minutes! Finally she came back and we thanked each other. Gratefully, my coffee card was fully punched which meant my coffee was free! Hurrah! When I got to the parking lot, there was a giant pickup truck (the type with the extended cab) with it's nose parked LITERALLY 4 inches from my driver's side door!! I nearly freaked! I yelled, "excuse me but I can't get into my car!" He said, "That can't be helped. The hose isn't long enough to reach. I won't be long." I said, "But I have to get to work!" I went around to the passenger side of my car and did a lot of physical contortions to get into the driver's seat. The car has racing seats and a console. I finally did it, muttering all the time, and raced down the alley behind the Post Office, nearly plowing into another car because he was pulling out of the Post Office parking lot without stopping. (I was also going a bit too fast.) I got to work, on time, dropped my handbag, nearly spilled my coffee going up the stairs because I tripped. The women in my Inter library Loan Department had several problems for me to solve and it was only 9:00 A.M. All of this took place within 15 minutes.
How is your Saturday then?
