I needed a place where my help might park, intersecting with my travel route on an out of town job. I live in one town, my help in another. So I went on google earth, specifically looking for a church at a convienent intersection. I thought churches have big parking lots not being used during the day. So I found a big church with a huge lot right off the interstate. I called them last week and asked permission. The lady on the phone was very nice and said no one had ever asked. She said she was sure that there would be no issue with us leaving a truck parked from 6AM until 4Pm, but that she should verify this with her adminstrator. She said she would call back within the hour. She was very nice. No call back that day. So I called again the next. She said that there had been some discussion over the matter and that someone mentioned "what if everyone wants to start doing this. She said she reminded him that this was a first. She said that she would try to spead things along for me since the start date I had asked for was coming up soon. Needless to say, I never heard back so I called again on Monday, them knowing that Tuesday was my start date. She said she had no answer yet and that it had been refered over to the Pastor for the decission. I felt sorry that she had got in the middle because had it been up to her, she would have said yes. So, essentially, by not giving me an answer was a no. I guess they thought that if they held out a little while longer then they would not have to tell me no. What do you think about this. I think it is pretty darn screwed up. Churches go all over the world to do petty things. Yet, they would not allow me to park a truck there for 3 weeks after having asked.
