I'm an idiot - WAIT! It's okay!
A stuck idiot. I stupidly tried to go to work today. Got the car out of its spot, most of the way down the alley, and then got stuck right at the entrance to the alley. Called AAA, they came and said that the snow mounds prevented them from getting their truck positioned. So they couldn't help. We've been trying the old standbys - cardboard under the wheels, kitty litter, all of that. Tires don't even move. I have no idea what's going to happen. I'm pissed - mostly at myself for not having the sense to call in.
What a pain.
UPDATE: I decided to try a couple of more times after the sun had been out for awhile, thinking that would unfreeze the tires. A short time ago, I went out, and there were some folks shoveling out their cars and the alley. So between a young woman, the teenage boy who lives downstairs, and two men, SUCCESS!! They were able to push me out, and I made it to a spot that's not on a snow route, actually in that block with the diagonal parking that didn't get hit too bad. I should be able to drive to work tomorrow, but I don't think I will. I am going to the opera, and I do not relish coming home late at night and trying to find a spot, as I really don't think the alley will be clear enough to risk. I'll just get up early and take public transportation (and I do mean early, around 5:00 A.M.!), and beg a ride home from the opera from Jim & Kevin or the Harrises.
Mood is now: relieved.
