[m4w] personal morality

Do not sacrifice your personal morality for your addiction. my personal morality IS my addiction, or so some would say.
But for that inconvenient personal morality, I did not take the "valet after 6 pm" parking space right in front of Kinkos H2. I did not prevent that other car from backing up to take the only open space in the hidden metered garage nearby. And by the time I admitted it would've taken less time to have gone straight home and taken the T, I'd already committed too much time to just give up, and the 6th level of hell (aka Mass Ave) was blocking my primary routes home anyway.
So I spent $4 at the Charles Hotel garage for the 15 minutes it took to find out that, in fact, they wouldn't be able to even look at my simple print job until Saturday. "Try the one in Kendall"
And I did not kill anyone! Aren't you proud?
Kendall was open, lousy with available parking. Not as swamped, but also not a 24 hour shop. With luck (on Friday the 13th!), I will get the damned postcards after work today.
If it really matters to you to get tomorrow's postmark, let me know. Otherwise, I'm wont to hand them out at
awfief's tonight, or at the late showing of DVN tomorrow, mail the rest when I am hanging out with Mom with little else to do. (We'll see how many I can address before the post offal closes tomorrow... Ancient and venerable ihalo list first, then the folks who sent me cards this past holiday season...)
I'd been secretly hoping to get today's postmark, but then I consoled myself... because February is exactly 4 weeks long, March 13th will be a Friday too, I can do another postcard then... Except not this year! It's leap year! D'oh!

Close to Home is of a kid spending a solid week in afast food playtube human habitrail... I want to go back to the Children's Museum, and pretend to be a parent trying to track down my kid in the tubes.
