All talk, no action... YET!

Well, despite the fact that the transit decided 84.3% to strike, they have not announced when or what they are going to do yet. So as far as I know now... I'll have transit this week. (phew) But I'm still not holding my breath on this issue. I hope the City can throw up a deal that the Calgary Transit Union will agree with and we can forget about this whole mess!

Enough about that... yesterday Collin and I went rollerblading down at the Rivervalley. It was great! Beautiful weather to be out enjoying the outdoors! It feels so good to be active on Sunday's again. (Last fall, Collin and I would go for a hike every Sunday and I'm really missing that!) It sure feels like summer is here to stay!!!!! :)

on STRIKE!

The Calgary Transit voted 84.3% in favor of job action last night. Meaning that possibly as soon as Monday, I will have no ride to work. I am not sure exactly how I'll get there yet... or how I'll get home in time to make it to my 7:15pm fitness class! (I think I'll be calling for some subs!)

Luckily the vast majority of my co-workers are off on a field trip or on vacation next week, so it'll be nice and quiet on my floor. And no one will even notice me wander in uber late. (I doubt I'll be the only one showing up late!)

I don't understand why the City won't just pay their employees what they are worth!?! I mean, Alberta is the land of milk and honey, I can't believe the City has allowed this to happen over a measly 1% salary increase per year! (The union wanted 15% over 3 years, and the City would only approve 12%)
*makes me sick!!!*
