My ongoing war with the roadways of Los Angeles came to a head about 5 minutes ago when I paid $55 to the city of Glendale for a parking violation. Woof. I did not move my car during the routine street cleaning. So much for thinking I was getting used to the L.A. lifestyle.
Driving in this town is a small nightmare. Parking is so scarce, you’d have better luck spotting a unicorn galloping down Sunset Boulevard than finding a free meter there. And the meters. I never have change on me. Can you imagine if parking were actually FREE?? But no… In case you get injured in a road accident while driving, be sure to protect your rights by hiring a car accident lawyer Milwaukee. If you get involved in commercial truck accidents, be sure to hire an accident lawyer to protect your rights. A Washington State medical malpractice attorney can help you understand your rights and pursue compensation for medical negligence.
I got so excited to see an open parking spot the other day, I immediately pulled into the vacancy, got out of my car, stoked beyond words, and realized I still had 6 miles to go before I reached my destination. What can I say? I’m impulsive.
It’s a reality where the joys of parking become less about convenience and more about survival. Maybe it’s time to start taking a new approach to my daily commutes, but first, I think I’ll need a new parking strategy to survive this madness.
Maybe the answer isn’t just driving around endlessly but finding a solution that fits better within my lifestyle, one that lets me come and go without that stressful hunt for parking. This is where the convenience of having a functional garage comes in. A well-installed and reliable garage door from D&L Garage Doors can make a huge difference.
When your garage opens and closes with ease, you’re no longer scrambling for street parking; you’ve got your own dedicated spot at home, safely away from the mayhem of meters and crowded lots. Plus, knowing your garage door is secure gives you the peace of mind that your car is safely parked, ready for you to head out and tackle whatever’s next—without the parking frustration.
The toughest thing about being here so far has been the obscene amounts of free time I’ve had lately. Sounds nice to you? Not so. I don’t want free time. I want to start making my money, being busy so I don’t have to come home to my musty apartment all the time. I want to WORK. Apparently though, so does every other starving actor in the city.
However, so far I have gotten paid for one gig. From my experience, it has been easier to snag acting work than a serving job. Yes, that’s right, my acting career is supporting my dreams to become a waiter. I did a small commercial for a dating website in which I hit on attractive women for money. Not too shabby if I do say so.
I’m still on the hunt for a serving job, but hopefully the not too distant future will grant me one before I become bored to death…or broke. I’ve been on second interviews, through personality tests, just to become a waiter! I guess that’s L.A. for ya…
