What to do without a tube?

Oh yes, The tube is officially "on strike." All lines shutdown tonight starting at 7pm. Which meant me and THOUSANDS of other people were piling in to the station and onto the train about 6pm. I thought I would be so clever as to "beat the rush" and leave early - OH NO. The train was crazy packed and since I was lugging my laptop home I had to use my computer bag as a weapon.*
*Side Note 1- The strollers as a weapon, from previous blogs, really is a better tool but my computer bag wasn't terrible.

I barely stumbled in the door exhausted from fighting everyone. Luckily, my group is working from home tomorrow. Unfor- Burr has to go babysit. Yes, babysit. He claims he has a bunch of first years working for him so he HAS to go in. So he is waking up at some horrific hour to go in and make sure everyone has work to do.

I did mention to him that you could (1) email (2) call (3) instant message (4) conference call (5) video call, etc. , etc. etc. his first years the instructions, but no I think Burr really just HAS to go to work. Apparently he is convinced he can take 3 buses at 5:30am tomorrow and be fine. (I am wondering how many other people have this idea?!!!) we shall see.

Miss you
