1) Last night, after waiting sooo long, I finally saw the YWCA on ER. Carter ate in the cafe, and talked to the other Doctors Without Borders doctor overlooking the pool, and spent some time in the lobby - all places posing as places in Congo, but really places I walk through every week.
2) The buses are back! TheBus workers returned to work early Monday morning. This week the bus has been free, in an attempt to ensure that riders return. Unfortunately, next week fares will be put in place and they'll be higher than before, making it hard for me to justify taking the bus instead of walking home. My heart will thank me?

Hey Meisa, is this affecting you? much?
i just started to notice the mass of trash overflowing from our dumpsters. if this goes another week, i think we will be in deep sh**, literally.
Posted by: meisa at October 6, 2003 04:59 AMOoh! Yuck, yuck! In my year here, we've had several strikes here, two of which were inconvenient and/or distracting, but none resulted in gross smells and an increase in furry creatures. For that I am thankful. I wish for all of you in the Chicago area a speedy resolution to this strike.
