This is a pretty insensitive statement considering the string of threads about a potential MTA strike. There are now more important issues at hand for reefers. Like getting to work versus say....sump siphoning.

Hey, even us reef keepers need to vent every now and then. ;-) Today I wish I did not live so far uptown, it is going to be a real hassel getting anything done this week.

I'm also VERY glad that they could not operate on my wisdom teeth yesterday or I would be in BIG trouble right now. (Real funny story- I am in the seat with the mask over my face when the Nitrous Oxide runs out!)

Seems like even the Parent Union of the TWU opposes the strike - that says a lot!

The judge ruled that the union will be fined $1 Million per day of strike, and the strikers may be fined 2 days pay for every day they strike.
The law does not appear to be on their side.

To me, there are ALWAYS more important issues at hand, like mortgages, revenue for my business, my family... I think Jawwad was just making an observation :sigh1:
