Car pool. It wasn't so bad. I have to say though that I hope they don't get what they want. In fact, I think they should all get fired!

I totally agree. I don't know why they still trying to negotiate with them. I took LIRR this morning (which took an hour on a line to buy a ticket) and then had to walk 20 blocks.

Not a good choice :sign63:
I always try to get reimbursed for every penny I spend or suppose to spend for my commute. Instead of trying to push myself through the traffic into the city, I am working from home today. And my company better reimburse me for this commute cost :innoc04:

You can request that they order a kosher lunch. They usually accomodate people who eat kosher. You should definitely ask them. It was not convenient for you to make it to work this morning just like any other employee at your company so you should also be rewarded for coming in despite the inconvenience. And people are really nice and considerate when you request a kosher meal. Just ask.

Then you'll have to drive home -- no option of getting a room.

I don't think so.

I drove to Midtown and parked my car in the garage. Had to be in the grad school by 9 am to take a final and then take another final at 12. Thank G-d the traffic was smooth on LI Exp and midtown tunnel. Now have to get back to Queens and give finals to my students. :D Anyone needs a ride back to Queens?

I guess I can wait till 5 and go have some lunch in a mean time. My final starts at 8:30PM. I'll have plenty of time to come to Queens and write up a final :D

Just make sure to be out at 5 o'clock sharp.

Why don't you make up your finals while you're waiting for us?

I am making them up in my head. I will only need to put them into writing and print them out once I am in my office.
