I loathe training people. The expectation is usually that they don't want to have to pay for my services, so they expect that me "training them" (a skill I don't even claim to possess) will allow them to save money because they can do it themselves.

But I'm not going to train someone for a discount. Say I can do a job in 1hr and charge $100. To train someone else to do that job will take 2hrs, so I'm charging $200. And I'm not a trained tutor (if I was I'd charge more), so you'e only getting "elementary school substitute teacher" level instruction. After all that, you still have to do the job yourself, and a 20min task for someone with 20yrs experience could easily be a 2hr+ task for someone without experience. Plus added costs of any tools/supplies needed...

My opinion is that if you don't feel comfortable attempting something after watching a YouTube video or two, just call a professional.

I usually travel on Sunday/Monday, and I never have much trouble finding parking. A few times my terminal's garage was full, so I just went to one next to it and walked an extra 2 minutes.

I don't think the signs showing how many spaces are left are too accurate. I've gone in before when it said 13 and the 4th floor was empty
