Have Spots vs. Have-Nots

It’s a well known fact that Shitshow corporate fat cats make far more money than the rest of us. Not only do they have higher salaries, but they get perks such as quarterly bonuses and stock options that would make Dick Cheney blush. While the financial disparities can be outraging, at least we can try not to think about it in our daily lives. Unfortunately, there are other inequalities separating the 'haves' from the 'have-nots' that simply cannot be ignored. This is because we have to see them on a daily basis.

Take the parking situation, for example. Our parking lot probably has 1000 spaces. As you can imagine, if you park at the back of the parking lot, it takes you about 5 minutes just to get to the front door of the building. Now this wouldn’t be so bad if you didn’t have to walk by the 50+ parking spots designated for “Executive Visitors” right in front of the front door. What’s worse is that these executive spots are mostly empty because the executives work at another site. So not only do they get their own personal parking spot in front of their office window, they get the pick of the litter parking spots at our site, for when they might visit once a month.

Because I have to park in the back of the lot when there are nothing but empty spots up front, I throw rocks.
