rmd | i feel both sneaky and a little bit guilty.

okay, i work out in newton in an office park, and the parking lot is big and kind of full. and people seem to have no qualms about parking in the fire lanes, but i don't roll that way, maaaaaaaaan. otoh, people are very conscientious afaict about not parking in the handicapped spots. and it doesn't seem like there's anyone regularly using them, since they are usually completely unoccupied.

now, my knee is kind of fucked up, still. some days it's better than others, still, but i have no idea how long i can expect this to be going on. and the snow is coming and a new tenant is moving into the office building and both of these things mean parking will get EVEN TIGHTER soon.

and so i asked the hr folks, "hey, i'm temporarily not-quite-so-abled-bodied. can i get a temporary pass to park in the handicapped spots here?" because, honestly, i don't feel the need to park in handicapped spots generally -- i just don't want to haul my laptop bag for a quarter of a mile from the ass end of the auxilliary parking lot when my knee's bugging me. and we had those before we moved back at the old building. or maybe back when we had the old HR staff. anyways, the hr folks asked the building management who said "oh, no, you have to get something from the registry or your doctor".

so i improvised with visio and some adhesive faux-lamination plastic sheets.
