"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Are you still at UCLA?

I am.

I had Grace with me on campus today and dropped her and Katie off at Medical Center. They were walking back across campus to meet me. But because I used the handicap placard when she wasn't in "proximity" to the car, they confiscated the tag and gave me a $508 ticket PLUS another $58 for not paying for the space (though I had).

GROWL. Katie took the kids over to parking right now.

The people who gave me the ticket wouldn't tell me their names!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

smonster, that first bag looks really promising.

Kat, that's ludicrous. If they're coming to you, the proximity just hasn't happened yet!

Good grief. She was going to be in proximity shortly.

You know what's good? A wrap with rosemary ham and fridge pickles.

Jesus, Kat, that's ridiculous. I hope they back down ASAP.

The nurse at Grace's pulmonlogist called them bullies. Sigh. We'll see what happens.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

smonster, that first bag looks really promising.

Kewl.

Kat, I continue to be appalled. If their parking is anything like the university I used to work at, they'll waive it faster than you can say boo to a goose. And I would think their names should be attached to the ticket.

Wow, Kat, that's awful. Good luck with it.

Kat I just did a quick look through the CA Vehicle Code and I don't see "proximity of the disabled person" is listed as a requirement. So I call bullshit!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kat--that can't be legal, can it? I mean, jeez.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Ooh, I think we would! That sounds awesome, and the Groupon makes it even better. Thank you! I'm assuming you don't need to know the specific date/time of the tour you want when you buy the Groupon, right?

Nope -- the Groupon has to be used before September 20-something, and your visit is before then. For the actual tour, we just have to figure out when we want to go and then I make reservations for the specific day and time.

Also, can I PayPal you the money now, or should I send you a check?

Well, it's only $20 for both of you, so we can always work it out when you get here. It's not a big deal.

I've wanted to do this tour for a while now, so I'm all excited!
