I am not looking forward into going into work today. I got an email yesterday afternoon from one of the company owner's that he needs me to go into the city and pick up and pay for a permit. I HATE driving downtown! The last time I had to drive down there was a few years ago to pick up some paperwork from his attorney's office. I had no warning about it so I was all frazzled, had on high heels and had to walk blocks from the parking garage, in the rain and then I didn't have directions to get back to our office.
At least this time I am more prepared. I have printed directions there and back (lots of one way streets, so the way there isn't always the way back). I have put on comfortable shoes and rain jacket (it's raining again). I'm sure I'll be driving around the block a few times (it's on one way street) to find where to park but at least this time I'm not on a timed appointment of when I need to pick it up - all the way up on the 22nd floor....somewhere in a big huge building.
My boss did email that "one of us would do it tomorrow", so maybe she'll take pity on me and go pick it up. I am not a city girl!
Good luck! I'm not a fan of city driving either.
ReplyDeleteThat would have to suck on your first time, but you can only get better from thereon! Hopefully they're not planning on making this into a habit... I absolutely hate driving cities. I'm honestly surprised I have not had my car collide with other people's cars while driving. I swear they adhere to the .01 second rule instead of the 4sec rule!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hate city driving! Good luck today!
ReplyDeleteWhew! I don't have to go. My boss said she would do it as she also has to go out and buy a tv for our conference room.
ReplyDeleteWin win! New TV AND not driving to town.
