Gah!

Tomorrow there might be-- might be-- a grève. What no one can seem to tell me is what Le Monde is talking about online. Apparently, the unions won't be striking, but will be implementing "perturbant activities" (is perturbant an English word? Probably not... my spell check hates it right now. It's totally on my spell check's shit list).

What the hell are perturbant activities? I think it's time for the unions to stop fucking around, excuse my français, and go back to doing real work like the rest of us.

In the meantime, I'll be the one plodding through the cold and the rain for an hour at 8 AM, looking for any way to get to work that doesn't include the 1 line. That metro line during time of grève really brings out the worst in humans.

Wish me luck.

I thought they were starting the grève-but-not-grève tomorrow...

And their activités pérturbants are supposed to include things like not stopping at certain stops, or staying too long at certain stops (like an hour without moving), or working much slower than usual. Fun, huh?
