• I am a consultant and I usualy park as far from the door as possible. Even though I am older than many of the employees I do this because I know I am capable of walking the further distance. I know there are some employees older and younger who can not. The spot is shaded, which is nice in the summer. There is a "furthest" spot that an employee and I "fight" over, we are both early arrivers, but she is earlier often. I don't grumble when she has it, but I do a little dance and sing when I get it. 😀 An additional benefit I have noticed is that, as a consultant, employees tend to be negatively predisposed against you. They notice when you park "out" and it gives you an opening to explain why, and that usually turns out positively. Conversely I suppose, if I always took the prime spot, they would grumble about "damn consultants" but never talk to me.
