great news I was worried it may take me more time to get to work with all the extra traffic.

I'm kinda saddened...I was kinda looking forward to the "Chaos"
...especially watching all the Zombies running around ('cause they're LATE), bumping into each other while they are TEXTING... :$:D

This needs to be passed by the members

Very unfortunate, I was sort of hoping for the strike to take place so that I could sneak out to play golf amidst the chaos.

Apparently bike sales went through the roof over the past week in anticipation of the strike....

New bikes coming soon to a BST near you.;) Keep your eyes open.

Glad there's transit today. But isn't it funny that I told staff not to come in if there's a strike, and now that there isn't a strike, a couple of people have come down with something and have called in sick. Strange how that works. It's a shame that they're going to have so much work on their desks when they arrive tomorrow. Might mean overtime. Oh well. Now, let me see what silly and useless projects I can come up with.

Hopefully McGuinty will go ahead and declare transit an essential service. Everyone wins if that happens: commuters, the city/cities, and the workers (historically, employees of services deemed "essential" have come out on the winning end of binding arbitration).

Over time tommorrow is worth it, if it means being on the golf course all day today.
