I'm handicapped without my laptop and TTC
My laptop crashed a few days ago. It had been acting weirdly, coming up with error messages warning of hard drive failure. I did back up my files, but I've lost the later movies that I prepared for my post-exam celebration. I'm getting a new one, but that will take a while. To my sister and her laptop which I'm relying on, thank you.
The TTC union went on strike Friday night without any warning, even though 48 hours of notice was promised. Those selfish bastards, putting their gain at the risk of the needy public. There is a reason why TTC is a public transportation. Maybe it's time they turn to privatizing Toronto's transit for improved efficiency through friendly competition, like in Singapore and many other countries. I am definitely not against the union's legal right to strike, it's the unmoral way in which they did it that has completely alienated me and everyone dependent on the TTC. However, I'm still very much reliant on TTC. Thankfully, it has been resolved as they have been forced back to work with a prompt legislation.
The strike gave us two relatively slow weekend days at Indigo. I got to shelve and clear up a cart today. When I tried to get a new one, I was nicely surprised to discover all the Fiction carts were empty! My first time ever that this has happened since beginning last September, which is a good enough reason to even mention it here.
I start my full-time job at the Ontario Ministry of the Environment as part of my Co-op work term tomorrow. I'm actually looking forward to it, just not the traveling to and fro. Phew, the TTC returns at a good time!
