Ever have, "one of those days?"
So I have a meeting in down town Orlando at 2pm...never been to down town Orlando before. Arrive on time, but have to park a couple of blocks away....parking meter....but no change. Go ahead and park, run inside the nearest place of business to grab some change, come back to the car......$22 parking ticket in the window. Oh well, live and learn.......max out the 2hr meter and head on down the street to go where the meeting is.....it was only suppose to last until 4pm but lasted until about 5:30pm. You guessed it.....get back to car.....another $22 parking ticket. However, nice ticket lady did tell me the best way to get back out of down town Orlando at "Rush hour!"
What a record day for me, had never gotten a parking ticket before, had never been caught up in down town Orlando rush hour traffic before. Next time, "THE MEETING IS AT MY PLACE!"

I think my exact words were something like, "Sure. Looking forward to it!"
