These posts take place within a quaint university situated in the middle of nowhere.
The writer is a student worker at their Parking Services Office.
Upon commencing her employment at said office, she has lost her faith in humanity. And yet, she loves her job. And she'll let you in on a little secret. She luuvvvveeees the 'angry customers.'
A parking permit is needed to park on university lots.
Permits are divided according to:
Commuter student
Resident student
Remote lot
First year resident students are usually saddled with the remote lots, and all of them are nearly a mile away from campus.
"And how do we get there?" they question, panicky.
"Walk," replies the student employee with a sympathetic smile. Yes, she does have a soft spot for the freshies.
"And look on the bright side," she says, trying to inject a little bit of a smile onto their sad faces. "During the late summer, you can enjoy the sun, get a bit of exericse, and maybe even a tan." Ahem. No, the student employee does not usually say the abovementioned last sentence, but, by working at this office, she has often learnt to appreciate that the glass is always half-full.
Night permits for the people who take night classes. It is a loooooooooot cheaper than the usual permit.
Motorcycle and moped permits.
Faculty and staff permits. They usually have the better lots.
Rockstar permits. A guaranteed spot in the super-duper, super-expensive reserved lots/spaces
Five day permit cards for those who visit the campus on an occassional basis.
Free emeritus permits for retired staff members.
Special permits for anyone who needs them on a temporary basis.
Vendor permits for anyone who is doing repairs on campus.
We do offer mobile permits which can be moved from vehicle to vehicle. They are purchased at the buyer's own risk; if they are lost, there is a pretty hefty replacement fee.
Additional notes:
Parking permits, except ones used on motorcycles, are not cheap.
Parking is very limited, very, very, very limited
