Quoth the raven, nevermore




The windows at Bloomingdales--the theme is "Imagine," and the windows on Lex are all in a fairy tale theme. This one's Cinderella. They're all pretty cool.

Hey. Wow. It's been a while. For some reason, last night, I couldn't get online--our linksys was down, so I just hung out and watched TV. Nothing too major.

So. The city is on the verge of a transit strike. And, seriously, this will immobilize the city. You have no idea. Public schools will start 2 hours later. My work will open 2 hours later and close 3 hours earlier. Most people won't bother going to work. It's too cold to walk, and it'll be insane to drive, if you even have a car. Hopefully they'll come to an agreement, but if not by midnight... they go tomorrow. *sigh* Well, I guess this is my large-scale NY crisis. Everyone's got to have one, right?

What else? Down to 2 shifts at BN--barring a strike, that is. If they strike, I'm probably done now. I won't really have a way to get to work--it's a 45-minute train ride; I can't even imagine getting there from here any other way. Including driving, at this point. I can't begin to imagine how congested the roads will be. It would probably take 3 hours to drive.

It should be a good weekend, again, barring a strike. It's all dependent on that. Heh. I need to finish shopping, theoretically on Saturday night, since early Saturday evening and all of Sunday are now full.

I realized this week that I'm starting to actually say goodbye to people here for the first time. I mean, I'll miss people when I leave for Christmas. It's just that, up until now, I've had to say goodbye to people to come to New York; now I'm actually saying goodbye to people in New York. It takes it to a different level.
