so, those ads are odd. some just take part of the name. some take you to places that have nothing to do with what i thought the adds were for. However, the van helsing hat ad - that was woth a look at.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Urgh. Today we are going to attempt to commute in via water taxi. My ride to the taxi picks me up in 15 min. I am tired and cranky. I really do not enjoy the dealing with people I know less than an hour after I wake up aspect of this strike commuting. Sure I should have gone to bed earlier, but shoulda coulda woulda.
At least today is my last day of work. I run a big meeting at 10, but hope to be out of the office by 1 or 2. I need to pack and clean and find a cat feeder and TONIGHT I really MUST get to bed early. 6am flight, yo.
ION, the Santa hat came out today. HO HO HO.

Chumley has discovered the window bird feeder, so I predict he will be camped out on my desk for the rest of the day. Unlike Yum Yum, he is bulky enough to push all of my stuff out of his way. Perhaps I should have thought of this before I put the feeder where I did....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I gave in and took a cab to work today. I had to share a ride with a couple of tourists who wanted to, you know, talk to me and stuff.

So is mine! (Good thing is that I don't have to worry about bad hair days when I wear my Santa hat.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Honestly, it's like Iraq -- people support the troops who are caught in the bullshit without supporting the leadership.
I've been thinking of this exact parallel all week.
Actual Workers = more fucked over than I (the rider) am by this strike, and have my complete sympathy
Toussaint = incompetent asshat egoist fuckhead
But hey, NY1 just said they were meeting again, so possible yay!

Oh Tom, I'm so sorry. I'm still riding with the co-workers, but this morning the driver won't be my boss. I predict much more in-car swearing.

Well today the commute was an hour and a half. We opted for the train instead of the water taxi and we missed the first one b/c it was too crowded. There seems to be a lot more cars in the city today.
I have a meeting at 10, am not ready for it and don't seem to care.

Resolution to Transit Strike May Be Imminent
A resolution to New York City's transit strike is imminent and is likely to be announced as soon as this morning, a person close to the talks said today.
The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the information, said subways and buses could be running as early as today's evening rush.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

That seems incredibly optimistic.
