How irritating - I biked in to work today, and lo and behold, the fucking product is down AGAIN, so I can't fucking test.

At least I got to bike. Home is mostly uphill though. Ah well. Exercise=good.

This way, I can go home, maybe do some sewing, definitely do some cooking... it's better this way.

If I bike in to work tomorrow (since transit is down), does that count as crossing picket lines? Because I really don't want to cross picket lines.

Today is Andrew's LAST DAY WITH THE FUCKING SHOW. Thank all the gods. Tonight, we have pot stickers and raw spring rolls to celebrate.

from the CKNW News 980 Radio website:

Monday Labour Walkout List

VANCOUVER (CKNW/AM980)-- Monday walkouts which may affect you:


CONFIRMED:
Translink: no bus, Seabus, West Vancouver Blue Bus or SkyTrain service. Translink says West Cost Express is expected to operate at this point, BUT THAT COULD CHANGE. West Coast Express passengers are advised to check Translink website: www.translink.bc.ca - or check with this radio station for updates Monday morning.

BC Teachers Federation (BCTF): no public school services

Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) BC: 70,000 members province-wide to walk out, affecting schools, colleges, universities, city halls, municipal services, and permit/licensing offices.


UNCONFIRMED, BUT POSSIBLE:

BC Ferries: no walkouts planned, but workers may not cross HEU picket lines, which could disrupt service

IWA: no confirmation, but sources say coastal forestry sector to walk out Monday, followed by the north on Tuesday and the interior on Wednesday

B.C. Hydro: no confirmation that union members plan to walk out, but some have done so already. However Hydro will go before Labour Relations Board on Monday to get injunction against further employee wildcat strikes.

BC Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU): says some action will take place, but hasn't confirmed what exactly will happen.

BC Rail: Council of Trade Unions at BC Rail not promising striking workers will be back on the job Monday. The Council says it doesn't know for sure what will happen Monday.

No, biking to work is not crossing picket lines. Unless you really want to get out of working tomorrow. Then, yes, you'd definitely crossing the picket lines of this (illegal) walkout.

Chinese 'dumplings' - kinda like gyoza only they usually have different things in them. These ones are vegetarian. I think of them like pierogies, only not so european.

I totally thought something else. I was like, "stickers that you lick that have pot in them?" I was so confused.
