Random Adventures Part 1

After volunteering in the library last night, my boss walks up to me and asks me if I can do a favor for her. Thinking that it is something like shelving books or covering the circulation desk one night, I reply of course. She then asks me if I can meet her at the library this afternoon and open the trunk of her car. She drives an antique Ford convertible of some sort, and the lock is stripped so that the key will not come out after it has been used. She was trying to fix it a couple months ago and accidentally shut it after disabling it from the inside, so even if the key was working, it would not open. This is where I come in. Since the backseat is welded into the car, she removed the area that the top would sit on when folded down, giving her a space not quite a foot wide. After unsuccessfully trying to use a pole to open it, she decided to find a small person, and being short and slender, I fit the bill. My job was to climb over the back seat, crawl into the trunk, and pull on the mechanism so that she could reattach it. All of this took place in the middle of the central campus parking lot, so anyone who passed by had a perfect view of my butt pressing against the plastic window as I disappeared into the little space and then reappeared through the suddenly open trunk. I'm sure it was hilarious to anyone who may have seen, and despite the challenge to my mild claustrophobia, I will gladly laugh with them.
