Parking forbidden

I look very tired don’t I? Well, I am. First week of work is over. I LOVE working there. I went out with the whole office to lunch Friday. Everyone is so nice and their conversations are really enthralling.

Well, today I got a parking ticket. I was pissed because I had no idea I was doing anything wrong. I was parked out in front of my apartment like usual. The ticket was for the 48 hour violation, which by the way, I had no idea even existed. So I went to the apartment manager where I told them that I thought they said the street parking along the apartments was theirs. Well, it wasn’t, it’s owned by the city. Then I told her that it would have been nice if they had informed us of the 48 hour parking rule! We don’t have all these crazy rules in Mississippi. There are no signs that mention the rule either!

She then said a resident often calls about cars parked for 48hrs. Then the police come & mark the tires & if it doesn’t move in 48 hrs they ticket you. OK, well. Here’s my biggest issues about this ticket.

1) I parked Wednesday night. Friday night was EXACTLY 48 hrs. That means the person called the second I parked in the spot! What the fuck?! I mean, usually, you’d think after a day someone would complain, then the cops come out & begin monitoring on the second day for 48 hours. BUT, apparently, mine was monitored somehow, some way, for 48 hours the very minute I parked my car for the night. WTF?

2) No warning!? Why no warning!? They should have at least left a warning on my car that I had 48 hours to move or at least 24 hours! Damn. OR given me a warning instead of a ticket!!! I still have mississippi tags on my car! HELLO!? I’m out of state! Give me a break, I don’t know this rule! OK, so I went to the police department & bitched. The very nice guy there said that this rule was very unfair and majority of people don’t even know of it. He then told us a handful of other parking rules people rarely know.

So whatever, I paid it. I mean, I just wanted a warning for fucks sake. And I felt my car was targeted the moment I parked it. No one else’s is. People park for days & days with NO tickets. But I park for exactly 48hrs & I get a ticket. fuckin’ northern parking shit.

BUT. I was in a good mood all day anyway. I got a new issue of Non-no with Miho all over the cover! I love her, she’s great. Karen got the Japanese Lessons I made up & sent! I’m glad! I try to make learning cute. Hahaha.
