The STRIKE is on ...
Ahhhh... Living through history again.
Well, I made it to the office. Thanks to Joe and Friends for counting me in for a car pool. It was a pretty smooth ride. Not exactly sure how I'll get home, but I will make it home regardless - my boys need me.
I must say, I really don't think its worthwhile for the TWU to strike. They're losing - what was it 2-3 days pay per day of striking. They're asking for way to much to begin with. 8% non-cumulative raise, no-contribution pensions, and a retirement age of 55. That's outrageous. People who work performance base jobs don't even get that. If you want to live comfortably when you retire, that's your responsibility to build up your own little nest. The rest of the world retires at 67. But because you drive a train or bus, dispense metrocards and do whatever "cleaning" (I must use this term loosely, in case anyone reading this blog has never been on a subway-tunnels are painted a trendy black dust and the aroma is of natural urine), you deserve to retire 12 years earlier. I can see the physical and emotional toll your jobs take on you. You are constantly confronted with directions from passengers, therefore the emotion toll leads you to be grouchy and thus the only answers you can communicate are grunts, rolling eyes and pointing. Its quite obvious, the physical damage you suffer - its led you to obsesity, where only the rare few fit in your posts.
In any event, I had a good weekend. Did eat out a bit too much, considering all the holiday parties I have attended. Caught a slight case of food poisoning - but that was to be expected. Also spent the weekend wrapping gifts - it took me about 8 hours straight - yeah that's retarded, but I had so much fun wrapping, the time passed by in a blink of an eye. I realized how tired I was when I a started wrapping gifts the wrong way and there was no correcting since I started running low on wrapping paper. The next challenge - how do I get these things into the car and delivered?
This weekend, I hope to take in a couple of movies. I want to see Geisha and Munich.
Well, in case I don't see you anytime soon ...
Here were are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore.
COMING SOON ... WHY PEOPLE GET FAT DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON!!~!

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Let your hear be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight.
Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away.
Here were are as in olden days, happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us, gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
COMING SOON ... WHY PEOPLE GET FAT DURING THE HOLIDAY SEASON!!~!
