Dept. of Type A Drivers

Things I learned Today

1.  I hate - hate - the Chicago Way of Parking. Furniture-Fu sucks canine nether parts. In the netherworld. The street is public property, you selfish imbeciles! I took two days to dig my car out, and when I left the parking spot, I left it for any of my fellow citizens who could navigate into it. I did not place packing crates, ironing boards, lawn furniture or dining room chairs in the spot, awaiting my return. Because it's public goddamn property. And did I mention I think little of your parentage or your ability with the spoken word? Or upright posture? Asshats.
   
2. My bad driving habits - yelling obscenities loud enough inside a car almost hard enough to break blood vessels in my eyeballs (windows rolled up, I'm not that mad) at other drivers - while undoubtedly good for my mental health, is not good for my passengers. Especially when they are my far-more-chi-centered Best Beloved.
   
3. My bad driving habits - so bad that my sainted mother, who, in her prime would take corners like Mario Andretti, would look askance at me - bleed into my parking habits.
   
4. It's a good thing my Best Beloved eventually dumped me off at the back door, holding onto his frayed temper with admirable constraint, and telling me he'd find a parking spot.
   

Thank you, and good night.

Which is just punishment in their case, but frustrating for people who don't indulge in Furniture-Fu, who still have to suffer from the lack of complete plowing.

Well, in our condo development, as long as you leave your spot empty during the day people start going back to work and the day after that, the plow will move the snow out of the way. This time the plow did push snow in front of our side of the clusterboxes. I emailed and called our agent and he had someone come shovel that clear.
