Parking dilemma

Due to construction around my work facility, various parking lots have been closed, re-opened, closed again, re-opened again, etc. It didn't really affect me until this past Monday, when I arrived at work to find that "my" lot is now closed. It wasn't exactly the closest one to the building but I liked parking there because it didn't require me walking around the building in the creepiness that is the "after-hours." And besides, to park in any of the closer lots would have required me arriving at work before 8:00 am. Not always possible. I have no good reason as to why that's usually not possible, but it is attributable to my late bedtime and comfortable bed. Back to the story...

I arrived at work on Monday at 10 am. (You don't have to ask. I'll tell you. I had a disagreement with my alarm clock -- apparently no one told it that I had just returned from Vegas late the night before.) My lot was closed, so I drove to the "creepy" lot. It was full. I drove around to the back of the building. Open spots, but I had no clue where a building entrance was and I wasn't too anxious to find out. Continued driving around the building and reached the front. Nothing directly in front of the building. Duh. It's 10:05. No one who got there at 7 am has any reason to be leaving their parking space at 10:05 am. I did manage to find a spot in the newly reopened parking lot on the south side (a long way from the front door and an even longer walk through the building to my office area). This whole adventure added another 10 minutes to already atrociously late arrival. (And then when I passed about 13 gabillion empty parking spaces in the front designated as "Medical," that just about put the icing on the cake. I mean, seriously, could there really be that many people at one time with medical issues??)

These are my conclusions:

1) To get a primo parking spot, I should arrive at 11 pm the night before work actually starts.

2) Suddenly, the idea of breaking a leg doesn't sound like such a bad idea...
