My favored spot is the first space to the right of two handicap spaces. This gives me a straight line up the walkway to the office doors. I've thought about why I picked this one. First, I arrive at the office near 6:30 a.m. and the lot is empty when I arrive. Second, I am not always the straightest parking patron. Having that extra space to the left of me when I pull it makes entry and exiting ideal. We do not have anyone who regularly uses the handicap spaces leaving them empty most of the time. So when it is rainy or snowy I can run directly to the car and swing open the door in haste without the worry of hitting the next vehicle. It is odd that if I go out at lunch and that space is taken by another employee in my absence it throughs me off. Almost like there is a shift in the universe. Then I think, wow now I have to take maybe 4 extra steps back to the office. My how cynical we have all become - like we own that spot.
