OK, I admit it, I'm kind of hoping there will be a transit strike tomorrow. I'm sorry Wheel, I know it will hurt. But I can't help it. It's like the feeling I used to get hoping for a snow day. The city will be absolutely brought to a halt. It'll be something to see. If it does happen I'll try to take a walk and get some pictures.
Still, I imagine they'll come to some eleventh hour settlement. And that will probably be for the best.
I've been baiting my co-workers this weekend. One said, "I don't think it's right for them to do this, with what the city's been through. And besides, they're already well paid." I said, "Oh yeah? When I see those people working down in that stressed out hell pit, I always think, 'Give'em some more money.'"
To another I said, "Our Mayor's worth, what, 60 million dollars? He could give up 30 of that to pay for bennies for the transit workers and still be a very, very rich man."
They love me up here.
60 million, is that a joke? hes worth about 4 billion.
Sorry, I'm like Dr. Evil: "To save the world you must give me one MILLION dollars..."
I was confusing him with Jon Corzine, who spent 60 million to get elected.
But hey, they both worked hard to get where they got...
I get that urge for disruption too, a nice hiatus from the gerbil wheel. I live with the guilty knowledge that there was something about September 11th that I found very intoxicating (not to diminish people's loss, but just the grinding to a halt bit is good for us I think.)
