I volunteered at Habitat for Humanity today. There was not much parking around the house we were painting. I drove around the subdivision multiple times and did not found all of the marked parking spaces were full. The houses were so close together that the space between driveways was shorter than my car. Almost all of the rest of the road was labelled as a fire land. I finally found one spot on the side of the road which did not have lines marking at as an official parking place but also did not have anything indicating that parking was forbidden.
When we finished late in the afternoon, I could not find my car. I walked through the entire subdivision multiple times to be sure, and then got the last person to leave from Habitat to drive me around to look again. He tried looking for the security guard to ask him about it, but could not find that either.
I had to call home to get my dad to pick me up. While on the phone, I read to him the number from from one of the "no parking" signs (which was nowhere near where I had parked). When he called, he learned that they had our car. It cost $135 for up to get it back, and required driving downtown during rush hour traffic.
The GPS was acting rather odd on the way home. The way it sent me was much more complicated than necessary. It also kept telling me to say in the left lane, even though the signs said that the left lanes were closed. Traffic was terrible much of the way home. When I was barely halfway back, the GPS's battery died. The rest of the trip was actually pretty easy though.
On the way to Habitat for Humanity this morning I bought myself breakfast at Chick-fil-A, which turned out to be a waste of money since they provided a Chick-fil-A breakfast platter for free.
I met a very attractive girl there, and got the impression that she found me attractive too, but then discovered that she is much too young. She looked at least 20 (others commented on this too), but is in fact barely 16. (I'm 25.) She won't even be a Freshman in High School until this fall, probably because of credits not transferring very well from Thailand. (She was born here and speaks English with no accent, but only very recently returned after spending the last 8 years in her parents' home country.)
My job search still is not going well.
