one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you

i work with a very nice girl named jina. she and i have known each other for about 10 years and i almost think of her like a sister. today, something happened to her that i have never witnessed first-hand: jina got the boot.

jina doesn't park in the parking garage because her access pass has broken. this is an easily remedied situation - if one will walk down to the office, one will receive a new clicker without question. she hasn't done this. she prefers to park in the 2-hour parking spaces for the duration of a 8 hour day. i understand jina has had many opportunities to wad up and dispose of austin municipal parking tickets. this is apparently the only action taken with this residue of illegal parking...until today, that is.

i don't know how many tickets she had refused to pay - until today- but she said the cost of removing the boot was 300$ on its own. i'm glad she remained in a good mood throughout, i felt like throwing up.

good luck, sweetie.
