Merchant Conspiracy

Thursday, Jun. 25, 2009 - 12:27 a.m.

I am slowly being driven mad by forces that are out of my control.

Nothing I have ordered from anywhere on the face of the planet a week ago feels like it's actually going to be mailed to me in time for my trip to Anaheim.

I bought a protective clear piece of stickum to put over my camera screen.

I also picked up a really awesome t-shirt with a bass clef on the front.

And I found a book about band management that I'm absolutely in a frenzy over wanting to read.

But nothing is HERE yet. I would swear that the various online merchants are somehow conspiring together, but I can't prove it.

Heh. :-)

So, there's a possibility of a BART strike on July 1st.

BART workers make base pay of sixty thousand dollars a year.

Poor suffering things.

I'm sure they'll garner the sympathy of everybody in the Bay Area.

Nothing else to report, kids. Have a really nice Thursday!

Are you kidding? $60K a year? That's the measly amount of change people like John and yourself find in the couch cushions. ;-) *ducks and runs for cover*

Only $60K? Hell, our state legislators get paid more than that to do even less!

"Only $60K" my aunt Tilly's motorbike! I'd LOVE to make $60K a year (and have the kind of benefits package the BART employees have). No sympathy at all, none, none none.

John, I wasn't giving my approval of BART employees and/or their salary/benefits package. I was pointing out that if we're outraged at BART employees, why the heck aren't we demanding the legislature do their fracking jobs?
