You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Don't forget the transit strike!

Uhg.

I really like my car.

And now I'm gonna go get in it and drive home, with a stop for a burger if the traffic isn't too psycho.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have to get my cat licensed? Oy. You craxy NoCal people with your rules and the glayvin.

Nope. It's just here in San Mateo County, and only some of the towns in the county at that. I think it is tied into fear of rabies, and we have a lot more OMG THEY COULD GET RABIES animals than SF does.

In other words, Belmont is a freak show.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

so anyone feel like wagering on whether the strike will happen. Our work contingency is for anyone who lives in an outer borough to stay home and work as much as we can with only access to email and work phones. That, I am ok with.

Can I work where you work? Our contingency plan is everyone in Brooklyn and Queens is carpooling, and everyone who can't make it in has to take a personal or a vacation day. BLECH.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ah, got it. Okay.

According to my NY bosses, it is much more likely than not at this point.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The fact that darkness has fallen already makes me think the transit strike is happening, but will end by Tuesday.

Our work contingency is that they're providing room in the garage for bikes. In December.

I can make it to work with PATH and some walking but I have to say intentional crippling of this city makes me pretty fucking pissed off at the strikers. I hate MTA but...this is CRAZY.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'll have to walk to work, which wouldn't be so bad IF THE STRIKE WERE IN APRIL. If there's a strike, tomorrow I'll be walking in with everybody's best friend Wintry Mix.

Toussaint (the TWU head) seems VERY strike-happy right now. I was thinking it wasn't going to happen, but the later it gets, the more likely it seems.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I always feel really bad for workers who are in key industries like this. The strike is the biggest bargaining chip a union has. Without the strike, they're defanged. Yet the public will hate them if they strike and management will take full advantage of that. It's a difficult position for workers to be in.
