That stinks, roque! I hope they're able to take care of it for you. It's odd that yours was the only car that was ticketed (putting aside that you had the permit, of course lol).

That could be. Sounds like the same concept as a speed trap
Today, I'm being...motivated...for once lol. I have a stack of boxes in the hallway that have been sitting there for over a year, since we moved in. They all need to be gone through, but I'm always either too tired, or my mom is home, or...something else distracts me. (I'm trying not to let that happen today lol) I've already gone through a few of them, and put some stuff aside to go to Goodwill. I'm kind of weird, in that I don't like to do any kind of cleaning thing when my mom is home. Don't ask me why, I've been like this for a very long time. I guess part of it is being self-conscious, and part of it is being "afraid" that I'm going to be nitpicked on how I do things. (That last, and maybe even the first, probably comes from having taught myself how to do a lot of household things, and being afraid that I don't do them "right".)

Went to another store today (and yesterday) to help out for opening on Monday. The people were lovely, a lot nicer than the last store I went to - they barely said two words - the lovely ladies at this store never shut up and took me with them for breakfast and lunch.
Everything was great. Nice store. Lovely staff. Lovely weather outside.
I finish my shift and go to collect my car from the underground car park, which I had a permit for and it was clearly displayed on my dashboard for all to see. I was parked with I don't know how many other cars in the staff area. And get I GOT A PARKING TICKET. And I was the only one to do so.
They actually placed the parking ticket directly above my parking permit. There was no way they could have missed it.
So when I got back to my store to swipe out for the day, I found my manager - the angel that she is - got the duty manager involved. I have to take my parking ticket with me to work tomorrow and my personnel manager will call the other store and deal with it.
The instructions were clear. Park in the underground car park. Check. Park in the far corner with the green bollards. Check. Display parking permit clearly on the dashboard. Check.
I placed the permit in front of the steering wheel, far enough up so that it wouldn't slip. I parked in the exact same spot as yesterday, and placed the permit in the exact same spot.
Argh.
Some people... If it helps, my cousin is having trouble at work too. He's found out that his employer (it's a small business, nothing on a chain) has been cheating him out of £700+ every month he's worked. He's talked to my aunt and my mum and they seem to think that he's been laundering money. Because every other person that's working for him has had the same treatment - a bit of money here and there, and never much at all. So, my mum's paying for a family meal out tomorrow evening. So much has gone on recently that we don't see each other much - that and my mum has eight siblings (all still alive), they all have a spouse each, most have at least one child and some of them even have grandchildren.Your Life Was Amazing Until You Met Me

Cantonese? Fancy. I have never been to one.
Ahh, it wasn't too bad a day. I finally finished Portal 2. Excellent game.The password is fishing...
