During the week I catch the train into work, walking to and from both stations. When I need to come in at the weekend I'll usually drive, because it's much faster and I don't have to worry about track work, the timetables being completely wonky, and hanging around at Redfern at odd times of the night/early morning. And when the Black Queen is away it's much easier to bundle the Pawns into the car.
On Saturday, I was a little later in than intended, and the carpark (free at weekends) down by the Cage was full: folks parked there to use the Sports Centre across the road.
I dropped into one of the 'University-owned vehicles' slots. Saturday, right? Only an hour and a half, right? The University sleeps, right?
Wrong.
I get a parking ticket for coming into work at the weekend. Utter bastards, the lot of you impecunious convicts.
The only bright side is that the western I came in to deal with actually worked, and told me that the IP works too. But I'm not working weekends here ever again.

Ah, nothing has changed I see. Those pretend-cops never sleep...

Finally I see a blot out there that is NOT edited!
Congrats, Black Knight

Heh, thanks.
I hate it when you see IPs with just that one band. You know damn well the rest of the blot is a mess, but you need to see it.

If only we all could share your "no weekend work" policy. Bench monkeys don't have the luxury of "weekends"... grumble mutter grumble

I am certain that is a lovely blot.*
*Not certain at all

Sydney train timetables are a subgroup of what mathematicians call imaginary numbers.
Shackle draggers is my current favourite.

I have been using 'shackle-draggers' at any and every opportunity. Where's Audra when you need her?
