SUBWAY STRIKE NIGHTMARE

Wow, NYC is a zoo and that's all there is to it. Yesterday, I was a little out of it and failed to read the news, turn on the TV or listen to the radio, so this morning I had NO idea that there was a subway strike. Called car service and they laughed in my face, walking is not an option unless I wanted to get to work at noon in heals, cabs were a mess, I have no idea how and where the buses run and I almost just sat on the corner and cried. Thankfully, I asked a man for help and we ended up flagging down a ca and splitting it with two other people. Phew! There are only 2 of us that have made it to the office so far... It's 10 degrees and people are running, biking, rollerblading to work and the streets are packed and it's just chaos. The longest strike in NYC lasted 11 days in 1980. Hope this one doesn't last that long!!!
