Duuuuude I've done that before. It blows. Luckily mine was still under warranty so it was replaced.

There's a bus lockout in Auckland at the moment. NZ Bus' employees have been unhappy with their working conditions and pay for a while now, and have adopted a work-to-rule strategy. The company's response to that was to suspend all bus services because they claim they can't meet schedules... a pretty poor move which only makes everyone suffer. If they paid their workers more than peanuts, none of this would be happening. I'd rather have late buses that no buses at all.

Between Wednesday and Friday, most people in my class have either not gone into uni or have remained stranded in town, relying on whoever has a car to get around. I stayed at mates' places both nights.

There's no sign of it letting up either... the last strike (a few years ago before I moved here) apparently lasted 2 weeks. It's amazing how something like this can absolutely cripple a city.

^ That is so crummy, I hate it when stuff like that happens! We've been getting a lot of train, tram, and bus strikes lately as well. It's really crazy that we're encouraged to take public transport to school/work instead of driving yet the trains, busses and trams are never available.

2 weeks is a really long time though, that sucks

Our longest public transport strike has only ever gone for a couple of days before somebody intervenes and makes negotiations regarding their pay and conditions.

Yeah it's a pain in the ass. Suddenly 80,000 people (1/6th of Auckland's population) have to find a new way to get around. Even if I don't mind missing a bit of uni, I have to get to a job interview at 9:30 am in the middle of nowhere next week. Hopefully everything is sorted out before school hols end as well.

I just read a story in the local paper about a how a suicidal bingo caller from Bury got back onto his feet with the help of a TV celebrity doctor.

Quite a slow day so far then.
