Now I can't get to my parking lot without negotiating a ridiculous detour. Perhaps my employer is trying to tell me something.
On another note, I think I caught Border's illegally charging me sales tax. What should have been a nice, easy transaction (buying a newspaper) turned into an ordeal. I get to Border's at 9 am sharp this morning to get a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll and a newspaper. First of all, they don't have the newspapers on the shelf at 9 am so I have to wait 5 minutes or so until they're ready. Then I get to the checkout area and it literally takes the clerk another 3 minutes before he can get the barcode scanner to recognize the paper. Then I get charged sales tax! Well, cheapskate sleuth that I am, I check it out on the Internet and it turns out that newspapers are exempt from PA sales tax! I think the tax gets paid on the wholesale level so you're not supposed to pay it on the retail end. That's why you only pay 50 cents at the coin operated racks. So next time I'm going to mount a sting operation at Border's and nail them for illegally charging me 3 cents sales tax.

It sounds to me like your employer is trying to tell you to stop working...you should take the case to HR.
Also, I would pay to see you conduct the sting operation. You really should contact Larry David about creating your own "Curb Your Enthusiasm" show because this sounds like something straight out of an episode.
