Lifestyles of the poor and nameless

Here we are at day 2 of the strike. Things seemed to be moving alot smoother today. I was out of the house by 6:35 and at my desk by 8:15. Not too bad, considering we had to pick up another co-worker and the strike is on. I worked straight through lunch and left work at 3pm. Not too shabby.

I missed out on the transit talk of the day, but from what I heard, the unlimited metrocards will be extended by the number of days that the strike lasts (yipee!) and moves may be made to get the union leaders in jail (Boooo).

Although I'm opposed to the strike (yeah, I said it. And what?!), I think that jail for the union leaders is extreme and uncalled for. Fines, whatever. Jail time?! What is that supposed to solve? If anything, it just makes the "powers that be" look like they're on the same "thuggish" level that the union leaders are on. *Sigh*

In any case...it's comforting to know that in the midst of all that's going on, the media is still maintaining sight of what really counts: Mayor Bloomberg's outfit. I can't find the NYTimes article (I think the editor must have snatched it off the website), but somewhere in there was a comment about the fact that Mayor Bloomberg appeared to be wearing "the same leather bomber jacket and faded blue jeans" that he wore to cross the bridge on Tuesday(yesterday). Lol. None shall escape the fashion police.
