Wait, it's press conference time!!

Ok, well that TWU press conference was totally unhelpful. He said they are gonna go on strike, but didn't say when. THANKS A LOT.

maybe it will be Monday? It's private strikes against some bus lines now.

or the MTA will stop being assholes?

Here's to hoping- this craziness has got to end. For today, I'm working from home.

if they have the money to give holiday discounts they have the money to give the union what they want--i want those people happy--we put our lives in their hands every day. (and i won't even start on the MTA's 2 sets of books)

It's Monday evening at Midnight now, says the union. (which is dumb--the holiday week doesn't have the impact today would have)

I don't take public transportation and live half a country away, but I might stop going to work just in case.

Damn near thing here in Ottawa. The Transit Workers Union voted yesterday 52% in favour of accepting the city's contract. I didn't think it was gonna be that close. Bad time of the year for a transit strike. Good luck NYC.

So far there are some outer borough bus strikes (Jamaica and Triboro bus lines), but the trains are negotiating until Monday, or Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. They may call a strike then.

Well, I'm here. I was kinda looking forward to working from home, too. That way I can work *and* do laundry at the same time!

I'm here, I'm wicked hungover and my sides hurt from laughing so much last night, I had a GOOOOOOOOOOOOD time at the holiday party. I've got one of those I feel great hangovers, praise Jah. I wanted to ask the conductor if he was fucking scab when the train pulled into the station, but I bet he wouldn't have thought it was funny.

I'm here, sadly. blech.

Oh, I guess I have to go to work now, huh? I was really looking forward to the guilt-free-stay-at-home-all-day day.

Here. *sigh* My office is 2000 degrees. That isn't hyperbole.

I'm at work, but the trains were fucked up this morning. The N was stuck at Queensboro for like 15 minutes. Then they said that there would be no Manhattan bound service, so I switched to a packed 7 train. Simultaneously both started moving.

I also found out that the reason my office was so cold yesterday is because a coworker had left a window open. I understand. She was contemplating jumping out.

I have to interview for the job I already have in two hours. My resume is in a soiffy Justice League folder. It has Batman, Superman & The Flash. Plus some dude in a gray suit with an X on the front who I don't recognize. Yo, DC, We don't need another hero.
