Thirsty Thursday & Friday Night Firework Show

Today is going to be hell. I normally don't many patrons out in lot 3, but today is going to be hell. Every drunk will be plowing though, expecting me to have change for a twenty, a fifty, a hundred. I'll only have change for the first one, by the way, but after two cars, I'm pretty much out of change. According to the list, however, I'm supposed to be in lot 1.

Unlike lot 2, only a small amount of traffic sweeps through lot 1. It's still more than 3, but nevertheless, I won't be on my toes as much. The only back breaking about being in lot 1 is the sun. Lots 2 and 3 have an advantage: shade from the sun. 2 has palm trees lining it and 3 has the gym across the street that throws its shadow over the lot. 1 has nothing until the sun sets.

Dollar beer night is the worse, but tomorrow we're going to have complaints galore. Friday Night Firework Show starts after the game. Bossman has already expressed (not to us, but to those above us) that there will be no free parking. Meaning, even though we're going to be done at about 8:30, we're going to continue to stand at our positions to collect money. This causes the problem of an angry mob of patrons wailing down on innocent Parking Lot Nazis. It's something I'm not looking forward to.

It also shows the bad logic possessed by those in charge: Just because we have hold of half the parking lot, doesn't mean there will be no free parking. Lot 3 is University property which we have control over during home games and events. Problem is, lot 3 is only half of a much larger parking lot. We cannot charge anyone who parks on the other side. Even though he says he doesn't want anyone to park for free, doesn't mean it's not going to happen.

Here's to the night!
