One of the nasty things about being late for work is searching for a good parking place. Obviously, all the best spots are taken by the early ones by the time you get there if you don’t come to work on time.

In my case, however, when I do arrive late, I still look for the areas with the most shade. Unfortunately, because of people who overstay in the parking areas, I rarely get a chance to land one. As a result, the car unnecessarily suffers from long periods of exposure to the blistering heat. This is why, I sometimes wish that the school would use a movable bollard to control or reserve parking spaces for school employees such as myself.

But then again, I could just come to school earlier. Yup! That sounds like a better idea…
