Umm... Seriously?!?!

Today I went into the parking office on K-State Campus to see if they had any options for me once I get 1-2 weeks from my due date. As of now, I park probably 1/3 of a mile from my classes (that's if I can get into the parking garage). If the parking garage is full I'm closer to 1/2 a mile from my classes. Luckily, all of my classes are in the same building! But I'm already carrying almost 20 extra pounds of my own body weight plus any additional weight that my backpack, lunch, water bottle and purse add!! Not to mention I can hardly breathe right now with the little one compressing on my lungs!!

Anyway, I went in there today to see if I could possibly park in some of the reserved spaces they have RIGHT BY my building or if they knew of a better option for me. There are ALWAYS spaces available in the reserved area! Well the gal that was helping me (or not so much helping me) just looked at me like I was crazy for even asking! She said, "We have no control over where we can have you park. You're in the commuter lot and that's all that is available for you."

I just thanked her and walked out. I wasn't in the mood to try to argue or ask for a manager or anything. Although, I will be calling to speak with a manager later today to see if he gives me the same response. I'm not looking for handouts or anything. And so far, I really haven't tried to pull the whole "pregnancy card". I'm also just looking to see if there's another place for me to park for 1 MAYBE 2 weeks when my due date gets closer! She seriously looked at me like I asked to park in the President's spot for the entire year!!

Update: I tried talking to the manager but the girl on the phone wouldn't transfer me until I told her what my phone call was regarding. In hindsight, I shouldn't have told her! I got the same response as before...it was probably the same girl that I talked to in person!

Obviously she's never been pregnant before! How rude! I would give up my spot if I had one closer to the building just for you Kristen :) Love ya girl!
