this NYC transit strike thing is annoying

[minxnim]

not because there may be a strike (because unions are a-okay by me and i think the city jacks its employees often enough to cause a stink) but because everyone is heated about it and keeps asking 'what will you do on monday!!!??!?' like i am going to ride a fucking camel to work just to get there! and carpooling? with strangers? every psychopath in the city will be out there trolling for little girls like me. no thanx.

actually, i plan on using a rope and catching a comet to get me across the water to manhattan. cuz i'm a cowboy.

i think it's a fact that comets have dinosaurs on them. maybe you wouldn't want to get into work anyhow, if that's the case.

i'd probably be a little stressed if i had to worry about the strike, but overall, meh.

You could always jump into your nearest sewer tube and ride a wave of sludge underground and up into Manhattan!

 

[minxnim]

everyone knows that all sewer sludge goes to staten island or long island!

annnyway, i'm not that concerned. my boss said 'see what happens'. so i will. i talked to an attorney today that i know... who is dealing with the city side of negotiations a little, and he said not to be surprised if there was a strike...

my mental image here overlays with my mental image of Y.T. pooning along the LA freeway in Snow Crash.

ok, my friend jenna who was supposed to come up from NYC this weekend is trying to cancel, citing that stupid strike! wtf?

 

[minxnim]

the strike won't even start until monday morning. everyone knows this!

 

[xfer]

she's frightful of being delayed up here maybe? who knows!

 

[minxnim]

maybe, but it's not like peter pan bus is joining in on the game. ah well who knows?

p.s. pls change that avatar!

well, she's taking the chinatown bus (fung wah!) and she's worried that she'll come back and be stranded in chinatown. we're like "take a cab!" and she's like "$$$" and we're like "well, we'll cook at home instead of eating out all weekend, that will save you enough for a cab from c-town to the upper west side" and she's like "...". so we'll see.

 

[minxnim]

well, if there is a strike, probably at least yellow taxis will strike also. at least that is what i know of the situation. but she could take a livery car. if i lived on the upper white side i would totally just walk everywhere. i mean, that's an hour walk to every place in manhattan which is no big deal.

besides, there will not be a strike until monday.

 

[minxnim]

p.s. that 'white' up there wasn't a slip up.

 

[xfer]

hmm, her entire neighbourhood seems blackish...maybe i misspoke. 108thish, one block from central park? is that upper west?

 

[minxnim]

that's newly gentrified territory.
it's like the plastic harlem.

 

[xfer]

oh! GO COLUMBIA!

 

[minxnim]

i think like all of the city is gentrified now tho... i can't tell?

dear boss: i dont see me walking for 3.5 hours to work in the snow tomorrow. i also don't see me riding my bike down flatbush avenue all the way to manhattan along with 6,000 other athletically challeged assholes weaving all over the roads. and no, i will not carpool with patrick bateman.....
so if there's a transit strike, you'll be eating a big bag of 'where is amanda at?' tomorrow.

xoxo me.
