Macey nosed her dark blue Explorer into one of the few spots left in the parking lot. Her dad had given her the car a year ago, but she still had trouble with parking. She laughingly referred to it as "the boat" whenever telling one of her friends about a parking misadventure, such as parking practically a mile from the mall in the pouring rain just to avoid having to attempt to squeeze between two cars to get closer. Her insurance premiums were at long last as low as they could be now that enough time had passed after her numerous accidents as a teen and she'd rather get wet than risk them going back up again. What was going through her mind at this moment was the thought of sideswiping someone's vehicle her first day at her new job. Unfortunately, the animal hospital was jumping this morning and the only available slot had a Toyota on one side and a giant four- wheel drive Dodge Ram pickup in the other. The truck was parked in a slot marked "Doctor", too. Fantastic! Macey sighed and decided to veer closer to the Toyota than the pickup, definitely the lesser of two evils. There is not much in this world more evil than ramming one of your new bosses' cars the first day of work. The Toyota also definitely had a much lower blue book value than the truck, should some unfortunate accident occur. She hoped her insurance company would at least appreciate that thoughtfulness. She sighed and muttered, , "Here goes, " sucking in her breath and holding it, feeling that somehow making herself skinnier would also decrease the size of her vehicle. With the power steering squealing a bit, she managed to slowly, gently ease "The Boat" into the slot with no harm done, although it was more than a bit crooked. She'd be damned if she was going to back up and try again, however!
