Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
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.

Ah, got it. Okay.

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

THAT IS INSANE!
Our boss remembers the last strike and decided against carpooling as roads are most certain to be ginormous nightmares.
God, sorry for you all, I'll let you know when and if we have job openings.
As it is, I might walk the 25 blocks to the LIRR and take that into to Penn Station.
