A couple of On Notice notices:

People who drive grey trucks, in a very-nearly-freezing-rain-storm, when it is totally overcast, and DO NOT HAVE their headlights on, are On Notice.

I very nearly pulled out in front of a guy because I couldn't see him.

The campus information line is On Notice. Please at least update at 8 am saying "campus is open" or somesuch. Don't just leave yesterday afternoon's "we'll tell you when we tell you" announcement up; it makes those of us who have to be at work before 10 am feel rather insignificant and neglected.

And one of the local gas station/"auto parts" places is On Notice. I couldn't find my ice scraper and knew I needed a new one so I pulled in there to pick one up. "Oh, we never carry those," the woman working the counter said. But - in a cabinet close to the door, there were several large pipe-like objects made of glass. (I assume, bongs?*). So - you carry bongs but not ice scrapers and you call yourself "auto parts." Nice priorities.

(I did find a scraper at the O'Reilly for 53 cents - so at least they're not jacking up prices because of demand - but that required going the opposite direction from which I was going to work.)

(*yes, I was an excessively good girl growing up.)
