Tears Over a Parking Space

Squirrel bought a new truck for his department this week - and yesterday he parked it in the spot where Marilyn usually parks while she was at lunch (we do NOT have assigned spaces). When she came back, she wanted to know who was here .... just us ....

"No, who's here? Someone is in MY spot."

Squirrel walked in about that time and told her that was his new department truck. She told him to move it over one spot - because she's parked in that spot for 18 years. He told her he was protecting his new truck.

At this point she was almost in tears, telling him that she would protect his truck - she would look at it every day when she backs in.

We're down to a skeleton crew in this building - there are about 40 more places to park ... but she HAS to have that one....

This morning .... she was in tears telling Mrs. C (who wasn't here yesterday afternoon) about it....

A few minutes ago - she told the guy who usually drives the truck to park it over one spot.... We all chimed in that her name's not on it.... The tears started again and she said she would park in our spots.... We told her we'd park in any free space ....

Crying .... over a stupid parking space.... and, no, it's not right in front of the door.....
