Looks like there could be a transit strike by the middle of next week. Aaagghh! I'd be very surprised if they scramble out a tentative agreement because this time around they really seem far apart and it's nothing to do with wages. That's usually what happens. Everyone complains about a strike when the people on strike are usually well paid but most strikes aren't about money, they're about benefits or, in this case, the threat of contracting out services.

I'm hoping to line up a car share with someone and i'm willing to pay. We'll see what happens. Hugely inconvenient if you don't have a car and pretty inconvenient even if you do, especially if you don't normally drive to work. It's expensive working downtown for drivers.
