Literally…As I was leaving the writing center this afternoon I witnessed one of the wonderful security staff placing a yellow boot on my car. Unfortunately, once applied, the boot cannot be removed until the owner of the vehicle makes a trip down to security headquarters. I spoke with a very nice man who told me that if I buy a parking decal he would take off the price of the ticket ($100). So I had to pay for the boot ($50) and the decal ($60). And then came the fact that I had a previous ticket that, of course I had not paid ($60). So my total came to $170. The annoyed look on my face and (I’m guessing) the fact that I looked really cute made the man who was helping take the price of the boot off of my total… So I ended up only paying for my original ticket from 2 weeks ago and a parking decal(to insure no future tickets). The moral of this story…There is none…I was relieved that I ended up paying $150 less then I actually owed but stresses about paying anything at all, so I went to 310 and had a very large beer…just in time for class…it should be fun…
