Happy Hump Day

Carrie hopes everyone's hump day was better than hers. . . She overslept and was 2 minutes late to a class she had to leave after half an hour ( at 8:30 AM) to go to a meeting at 9am. So she snuck out of the class, looking like the class jerk because she left in the middle of the teacher's lecture. . .then she decided to stop by the Owl's Nest to get some caffiene in her system because, as we all know, Carrie doesn't have blood, she has red food dye and liquid caffeine running through her veins. She makes herself coffee, realizes she is running late and jumps in her car. Carrie then, in true Carrie fashion, spills some of her beverage in Chester, says "fuck it" and drives to theater arts. She parks and a meter and puts in as many coins as she has. . .hell, even her friend put in a coin or 2 for her. She had 44 minutes on the meter, obviously, she thought, this wasn't going to take long, especially since she had a class at 10am.  So this meeting takes a while, it ends at 10:10, and Carrie couldn't leave early of course because she is the stage manager. 
At 10:10, she finally leaves mainstage and goes to Chester, praying on the way there that she didn't get a ticket. What do you think happened? Carrie finds Chester with a parking ticket under his windshield wiper. Hooray, another $25 to taps. 
Carrie is late to class, has a parking ticket and is slightly cranky. Class went well for her, her scene was enjoyed by all, and she enjoyed the appreciative laughter and the amusement of seeing somebody play her onstage. 
After class, Carrie helped a lovely young lady with the evil copier in steno pool, it was a feat of wonder. . . she made her own copies, and proceeded with the day.  

Sadly, Carrie is now tired and must sleep as she has work tomorrow.
