OK so the one application on Facebook that has been able to hold my attention so far is Parking Wars… I know, y’all are getting frigging bored with it. I know! I’ve seen my list of friends on there diminish… I thought I would be too, but somehow it’s got a hold over me…
At first I thought I would be ok just getting to the 1,000,000 mark and getting a new car… No such thing… Me wanna more! On Saturday I finally topped the one friend that was above me in my Parking Wars list: Shelli (sorry Shell, I hád to take advantage of you being away from Facebook that one afternoon. She’ll be beating my ass again as soon as she’s back on there but at least I’ve seen my face at the top of the list just once!

But THE best part about Parking Wars is actually the fact that one of my colleagues -SLASH- girlfriends is on there. We try to beat one another all the time and though I am on there all the time, trying to save my cars from getting ticketed, if she gets the chance to ticket my ass, she does! Hard!
And ya know… that requires some retaliation… Nah, not ON Parking Wars, that would be too easy (besides, she’s too fucking smart and doesn’t park on “my street” that much anyway).
What happens is that I check Parking Wars in the morning, before going into the office. Yes, I know, I am pa-the-tic, but we’ve established that already on several occassions in the past years. So no news there. Anyway, if she has ticketed me I will be like “Godfuckingdammit! She did it again!”. Then drive to school to drop off The Kid, continue to the office, get to my desk, put away my handbag, start up my PC and while the latter is starting up, I will traditionally walk over to the office that she’s in (which she shares with 2 other post-doctoral researchers), open the door, peek my head thru it, look at her and say: “Ehm.. BITCH!” and walk off again…
Usually leaves the 2 other occupants of the office and several other colleagues that walk thru the hall coming into the office for the day looking puzzled… Especially as it happens fairly frequently and they know we are bestest friends…
I love being enigmatic at the office… Nothing like being a total mystery to people, heh
