So, Ottawa transit drivers are on strike.  Normally I have the utmost sympathy and support for striking workers, but I just cant manage it this time.  Something feels different.  The strike isn’t even impacting me that severely.  I walk to work, and I’m a homebody to boot so I’m not REALLY missing the bus all that much.  All the same, I find myself angry with the union and its employees.  A good deal of this probably leads back to the antics of their union president who, by virtue of his media interviews, is a Mean Bastard.  I have a hard time believing he’s really as callous as he seems to be – after all, what is the likelyhood that the antichrist would spawn in Ottawa?

(Also, I just upgraded to Wordpress 2.7.  So far I’m liking the new admin interface although I wonder if it was really necessary – the old one wasn’t that bad.)
