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!

I had to share a ride with a couple of tourists who wanted to, you know, talk to me and stuff.

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.

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

Yay!

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

That seems incredibly optimistic.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just hope they're back when I come back to town on Monday. Ugh.
