A parking garage is no fun to hang out in, especially after a long, hard day like that one had been. 
 
 So I was pretty pissed off when I jumped in the ol' jalopy and was met with that damn twirly, spinny thing. I mean, what the hell!? They really should have better wifi in those places. 
 
 It did give me a chance to catch up on this damn M & A that Schneiderfeldt had wanted done before the next day. Of course he did—what a bastard! I mean, he was my boss and everything, and I…well. I'd seen his smug Mercedes parked up there in the “ executive ” section, all shiny. Am I not an executive? Anyway, I was deep in a spreadsheet when the car went _bong! _ and the avatar came back up on the dash display. “ About bloody time ”, I said. 
 
 And she said… “ New features are available ”, she said. 
 
 That had happened before since I'd taken the plunge and subscribed to the full upgrade pack—but I had never got into the habit of reading the release notes, who does? Or any of that “ check the secure hash business ”, so…you know? It had never been a problem. Well, I remember that I did see Schneiderfeldt come out of the private executive elevator and just about then, I suppose, I said to the car, I said: “ OK, Christine—show me ”.
