Another Opportunity Discovered

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I started parking in a new garage this week now that I have an ID badge. With the new garage comes new challenges. It's layout is not as user friendly as the other garage that I was parking in. This new one has a lot of twists and turns and sidestreets etc. It's almost like driving in Boston, but without all the traffic. The first day I parked in this new garage, it took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to get out. I kept going around and around the same spots over and over again. It was really annoying. And then yesterday morning, I got really excited because I got a great parking spot right by the elevator and on a direct route to the garage exit. I was in fatman heaven. I walked through the door from the garage to the elevator only to realize that I was walking right into the staircase entrance. Not wanting to look confused and out of place, to the person behind me, I decided to take the stairs up to the first floor. And it turned out to be a pretty easy walk up. So now that I know where those stairs are, I'm going to take them every morning to the main floor instead of the elevator. This now makes two elevator rides that I've been able to eliminate from my life. I think the parking garage at the movie theater will be next. No deadline has been set for coffee though. I'm still working on that one.
