I’d write more but I’m too stressed out. Holiday anxiety has hit me hard today, like the subway strike has hit New York. Somehow in the next 48 hours, I must begin and complete my Christmas shopping, work two shifts, do laundry, find someone to take care of my dog, and fly home. And when I get home, I’ll need to figure out how in tarnation to get to my mother’s apartment from the airport without the help of the Metropolitan Transit Authority.
At least the airplanes aren’t on strike

Maybe the MTA will have everything nicely resolved in time for the holidays…
You can always hope, right?

Well, the TWU (not to be confused with this TWU) workers are now being fined $1 million per day until they return to their jobs, as they are public employees. It’s ugly all the way around.Best of luck with the mydogischelsea CramJam Christmas ’05 Tour! I’m sure it will be most blogworthy!

I’m frustrated for you, but I must admit to laughing pretty hard when first learning of the strike

Your creative, I’m sure something funnier than what I was thinking of writing here initially will pop into head from just the mere idea that I was gonna write something outrageous.

You’re in my thoughts, my transit-less friend… Hope you have a lovely holiday chez vous. We’re rockin’ steady in Savannah…I’m working like a childless grownup these days. I can’t wait to unwind this weekend.
Don’t sweat the CD, I’ve already replaced that one. Consider it a Christmas present from me to you. Love, love, love and peace.
