Fuck em all to fucking hell!

Fuck the MTA for being bureaucratic imbeciles, but fuck the TWU for turning down a decent offer and thinking they deserve a pension comparable to FIREFIGHTERS AND POLICE OFFICERS. I mean, yes, people on public transportation can get mean, but you're not exactly putting your life on the line on a daily basis, you bastards

You get a cookie for even trying to go to work this morning. But then, it sounds like your company bothered to make a contingency plan. I've been checking my work email all morning and not one single email. I hate to think I'll get docked a day's pay for this.

Plus, I just walked down to Queens Blvd. and saw not just one but several Q60 buses running, with people in them! Huh? I'm confused.

Well, we have four people who live in Brooklyn, one who has a car. So pretty much I didn't have a choice, though if they had gone on strike on Friday we could have stayed home. I can't even stay home tomorrow because then my coworkers won't be able to get in!

I saw Green Line buses running. Maybe the express buses are private and not subject to the strike?

I loved your rant--very eloquently stated and I may just direct people to your LJ to read it because it's better than what my addled brain could have come up with today.

Isn't it funny that just yesterday you said you wanted to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge? Well, TONS of people are doing just that today!

The Green Lines are a private bus line apparently, which is why they are running. If this piece of utter shit situation is still going on tomorrow, I may try taking the super slow Q60 in because it's GOTTA be better than waiting on line at Jamaica Station like I did today.

Oh yes, the f word is soooo eloquent. :b ;) Problem is it's friends protected, so... I guess I can unprotect it if you really want.

I feel so resentful being here today. And knowing I have no idea what time I'm getting home.

Yeah, it was so odd, I've not seen that many people walking across the bridge since the blackout and 9/11. Of course then it was WARM... :roll:

I feel like if the TWU were stubborn enough to go on strike, they're going to keep it up for a bit. I'd be surprised if it's settled before Christmas. That must have been hell, you have my admiration!

Sure, why not unlock the post? Then anyone reading my LJ will understand what I'm talking about.

I'm not resentful that I'm here, I'm resentful of what it took me to get here. I am so angry at how much this affects my life! Yesterday I got in much earlier than I usually do, and wanted to try to get on a better earlier schedule that I could stick with, and of course, now I'm all screwed up again today and out of whack. Now I feel like I'm not entitled to take a real break and go outside today because I got in so late, and I really need to chill out! I feel like I can't control anything in my life, not even how I get to work! I'm really disappointed our office holiday party got cancelled--it's one of the nice things I look forward to once a year now. And we need more things like that in our lives!
