To celebrate, I overslept. By about half-an-hour. I'm telling you, I *ran* down those stairs (and then back up to grab change, as Jenn had my Metrocard), ran all the way to the bus stop. Oddly, my arms ached, but not my legs. I suppose it's a change from my jaw hurting, which is what used to happen if I had to run (instead of wanting to).
Got there with four minutes to spare. That bus was the best thing I'd seen in my life.
As I'm going back to Jenn's from the museum, on the bus, some idiot of a guy gets on and starts muttering Very Audibly under his breath about the strike.
Dumbass. You always wait until you're getting off the bus to insult the bus driver, because nobody wants the bus driver to do what he did then, and stop the bus to insult you. Some of us just wanted to get home, okay?
Besides, it really was ignoring the whole purpose of a union. See, when the union goes on strike, individual people don't get the option of saying "Well, I don't think this is worth it, I'll just go in to work anyway". If you have people deciding on their own whether or not to go to work, then you no longer have a union. What you have is a bunch of guys looking for work. So for all we know, this lowly driver was against the strike from the start, but what was he expected to do? It's a union. You have to be unified. Hello?
Ana's finally started to figure out that Mommy's not going to be there during the day. She is *not* happy about it. Yesterday, during bedtime, she planted herself in Jenn's bed, wrapped her arms around her mom, and refused to budge. "No! I sleep with Mommy. Snuggle?"
It was really cute, which is good, because there wasn't a way for Jenn to win that fight and still have everyone go to sleep at a reasonable time.
