Hi, thanks to those of you who sent me nice messages asking about my whereabouts. I have had the most miserable week after underground workers decided to take industrial action against their employers. I used to feel quite sympathetic to their cause but now I’m sorry I don’t anymore! 3 days of strikes!!! They should be lucky they still have their jobs. I mean people do rebel against bad conditions, salaries etc but they should think of the consequences they are imposing on everybody who’s dependent on them, especially when it’s such a vital sector as trains! They wanted to make a point; a day would have been more than enough! And some workers could speak in the name of colleagues, why does EVERYONE has to strike??? Anyway, because of this, I was confined to work from home for 2 days because I simply couldn’t get to work in less than 3 hours and a half in the morning and in the afternoon! You might think its ideal to work from home but believe me it’s not, well not in my case anyway. I don’t get the luxury of putting my feet up the sofa and watch Trisha (not that I’m fan of Trisha or anything), I had to be in front of my screen all the time replying to the 10 MSN (yes we use MSN at work) and skype windows that never stopped blinking and felt claustrophobic being all alone with no one to talk to. The only luxury I had was to be in my nighty all the time so I didn’t have to worry about doing my hair or make up or anything. The trains are back to normal but it’s far from over since tubes might face more misery next week..so first the floodings, then the strikes and soon Boris Johnson will be new mayor, what the hell’s going on in London??? Ok I’d better stop now. Sorry you had to endure my moaning, that was my grumpy hour in the day :) At least, summer seems to be back and Big Brother is over, yay!! I can finally switch on my TV and relax :clap: Good day to all//en.yabiladi.com/topics/tube-strikes-ruined-week-44-2050329-2050329.html#msg-2050329 Sat, 06 Jun 2026 22:56:19 +0200 Phorum 5.2.15
