Oh The Irony.........

So I started a new job as a parking enforcer for a company called Parkway Authority.  It pays pretty well.  I looked for a job all summer, and so I jumped on the opportunity.  Even I know it is not a very desirable job.  It's not very bad.  I go around different apartment complex's in provo and orem and put a boot on people's cars who have parked illegally.  I have really only been yelled at once.  And the technically wasn't even yelling at me, he was yelling at my manager.  Most people realize they parked illegally and they are just pissed they got caught.  So I put the boot on, and take it off if they pay $65.  I am still working at Little America for now until I decided if I wanna keep doing this for a while.

Here is a picture of the boots we use.

 

So here comes the Irony!  We have the capabilities to open people's doors when they lock their keys in their car.  It is one of the services offered by the company.  However, most the time they just tell them to call the police.  I don't too the door opening, the managers do.  So I was on call the other day studying at the UVU library (that just means I go take boots off if someone calls) and I had two people call and ask if I could come let them into their car cause they had locked their keys in their car.  I just told them to call the police and they would come do it for free. Twenty minutes later I was walking out of the library to go to my car and I started reaching for my keys, and sure enough they weren't in my pocket!  They were sitting on my front seat of my car.  The first time in my nearly 7 years of driving I locked my keys in my car.  I felt so stupid.  I had to call the parking people at UVU to come let me into my car.  When the parking lady showed up I explained the irony to her and she thought it was so funny.  So I guess the wheels on the bus go round and round.
