So. The subways are on strike.. I don't know how I'm going to work - Jonathan is telecommuting, but that doesn't work for a receptionist, even if we had another computer.
I suppose cabs will be doing awfully well for now. My mother in law used to be a NYC cabdriver and she wrote a biopic on the same note. I should send you a copy, it's a hoot!
This is one more reason I'm glad I left the city, although M. was on the phone all morning trying to figure out how he can get from grad school in Manhattan to his office in Brooklyn.
Good luck, however you solve it. As otherdeb said, neither side is bargaining honestly, and the main victims are the rest of us.
While in theory car services were going to take up the slack, many of their drivers were expressing serious sympathy with the TWU, and suggesting that they weren't going to hustle ridiculously just to cove the MTA's anatomy.

And it's cold.
