Did a recon mission to Test Site for County Job

Gad! Mapquest said it would take 1 hour and 18 minutes. Ha! Lets try two hours. Also, the exit for the Temple street was like 100 yards past where I got on the 101 from the 110, . . .on the other side! Thank God, there was only one other car on this section, and it too, was headed for Temple street. Circled the block twice, and found a parking garage. Maximum total was 17 $. If I got out of there in less then one hour and sixteen minutes, I would get some money back Went out onto the other side of the building, got twisted around, and oh, how I had to pee! Ever try walking fast when you are afraid you will pee your pants? Walked down the wrong street, figured it out, found Temple, went a little ways in the wrong direction, doubled back and found the building. It's next to the county supervisors meeting room building, (yes, that's what the front said). Went in, desperately seeking a bathroom. The guards ask if they could help me. "Women's bathroom?" I moaned out, clutching my hands into fists. They told me where it was and laughed at the expression of relief in my face. Peed, went back to them. They wanted to know where I was going, I told them where and why. They told me I better find the basement room as well, since it's hard to find. Went down there and found it. Left, got five dollars back from my seventeen and got on the freeway home. Forgot to ask the maximum amount of hours you could spend at the parking garage, will try to find it on the Internet. Also, want to go down by 101, so I don't have to try and get across three lanes of freeway traffic in under 100 yards.
