coding, claiming space, cleaning up

my car's on coding today, so it has to be in the parking lot before 7am and can only leave after 7pm.

i woke up at 5am, from a dream i cannot remember but which left me with a lingering feeling of hope and optimism.

for a moment i thought about putting off bringing the car on a coding day to next week. i wanted to crawl back into bed and get an extra hour of sleep. but i have been putting off bringing the car on a coding day for many times now.

well, at least last night i was able to firmly stand my ground and ask my sister to have our dad take her to work instead. taking her to work makes me wake up earlier than i would have and takes me longer to get to my office (and uses up more gas). on a coding day i think i could use a little bit less of fuss.

the roads were beautifully empty. i got to the office in less than half an hour. about twenty minutes i think.

when i parked into my slot i was approached by the building guard and was told that i was parking in V's slot. in a very nice and pleasant way i responded by saying i am now claiming my space and i was only lending it to V, who is actually part of my team. for some reason, and it had nothing to do with V, but with the whole idea that it wasn't my space, sort of made me feel slightly bothered. it was no one's fault. and if it was then it was my fault because i have put off driving for a very long time. that parking slot has been mine but has always been used by someone else for the past few years. and now that i have finally started using it, as i should have years ago, my right to it is suddenly put to question. yes, i am slightly bothered.

in any case i have just sent an email to the person in charge of advising the building guards of who is assigned which parking slot. i requested that the parking slot assignment be updated and provided my car details. if i am going to reclaim my slot i might as well officialize it, eh? and besides, i don't think i want to be questioned a second time.

am i putting off something i should not be? is there a claim i should be making? a long overdue thing, that has always been mine.

so i am in the office early and i am writing this blog. in about an hour i'll probably step out and do some banking stuff, then get something to eat. meanwhile i'm fixing my receipts for reimbursement, and maybe i'll go clean that drawer. clear up old energies for the new.
