According to the Times, the TWU will start a limited strike on bus lines later today, but won’t call for a city-wide strike until Tuesday at 12:01 am, at the earliest. So it looks like we’re okay until Tuesday morning.

Thanks to our ride-share web-app, I had a carpool planned with my colleague from the engineering school, a professor of Obstetrics from the Medical School, and a grad student from the Bio department. At 5am we touched base, and decided that since NY1 was reporting that the trains were running, we would just try to make it in on our own.

I'm pretty exhausted now. I wonder how much money the city lost due to diminished productivity in schools and offices across Manhattan. Probably a lot.
