STRIKE 1.
posted by RICK : 4:41 AM
Well, it happened. Luckily, as I type this post, I've managed to get a car service to take me home from a very hectic day at work, and have arranged another to pick me up and take me to the airport. Really, I will have made it out of the cursed burg almost completely unscathed. The same can not be said of others. What I'm especially curious about is how many people (at 4:43am) even know that this is happening. The announcement wasn't made until 3am, and by then it was starting to look like things had gone so far outside of the midnight deadline that maybe the TWU was starting to turn. They did not, though apparently, it was close.
In any case, in 12 hours I'll be in Omaha, but many of you won't. You'll be stuck-- walking across the bridge cursing the stubborness of two entities who knew for 3 years that this deadline was approaching and who did nothing about it. Part of me is sad that I'm going to miss it, but that part of me is idiotic. Midwest, here I come.
