One Tier Up & Two Tiers Down!

So yesterday I flew into Providence, RI. I was scheduled to do a training at one of our schools in RI and then drive 2.5 hours to Nashua, NH. When I got to the Budget Rental Car counter, the gentleman there said, "You are in luck. Your car is right here next to the booth." When I looked at the car, my face must have made a weird expression because he asked me if everything was ok. I said, "I am not sure I can drive this car." It was a FULL SIZE Mercury Sable!!!! He asked me why I said that. I told him that the car was too big for me, and seeing over the dash might be an issue. He said, "It is only one tier up from the mid-sized car you reserved." I said, "My company reserves the cars and I am clearly two tiers down from that mid-sized car!" The man explained that that car was really my only choice as it was from NH and needed to go back. So off I went, feeling like Edith Ann in her big rocker!! In the end, it was not that bad and I am a champ with the car now. Can I get a woot woot!!
