Got to the BART parking lot squarely in the middle of my usual time window. Drove around and around up to the seventh floor, where the parking generally is at 8 in the morning. Noted that the lot was emptier than usual, probably on account of the holidays, Thursday not usually being a low-load day for the BART parking structure.

Whipped out onto the 7th floor rooftop area (there is also an 8th floor rooftop area on the parking structure addition) because I enjoy parking on the roof. It was almost empty, perhaps a dozen cars across the hundred-parking spot area.

And then for some damn reason I couldn't make up my mind where to park. I thought "I shall park where I can pull through," and then I didn't park there. I thought "oh I'll park backwards next to the wall" and then I didn't park there. I thought "well now we're around the end of the lane, I'll park facing through the other way" and then I didn't park there.

Finally, aggravated at my own indecision, I said "fuck it" and just parked, and wound up in a spot with a concrete post ahead of it so I can't just pull out easily when I return this evening. Possibly the only bad spot on the whole roof and I parked there.

Sometimes I swear I make decisions by committee all by myself.
