4 Signs It's Going to Be a Great Day
Sometimes you just know that the road will rise to meet you.
S
ome days you'd be better off calling in
sick or dead. Yet other days you just
know it's going to be a great day. The
signs are here, there and everywhere.
Primo parking. I pull into the park-
ing deck and there's an empty spot
in one of the first 30 spaces. If there's
no parking there, I drive straight
to the top floor, where there
are always parking spaces. I
can park right in front of
the elevators and the secu-
rity camera. I don't care
that there are multiple
spaces on floors 2 and 3.
Besides, if there's an earthquake,
my car will be on top of the
heap and it'll be easier to get it off.
Easy entry. The keypad allows me access into the hospital on
the first try. The code is supposed to be changed quarterly. It's
not. Usually I have to enter the code 3 times before it will unlock the
door. If it doesn't, then I'm locked out and I have to either go
through the ER (which creeps me out with all the bodies in the hall
because there aren't enough slots). Or as a last resort to get in, I
have to walk around to the front of the hospital and go through the
lobby.
