Tuesday, November 1: Day one of the SEPTA Strike

 Happy November everybody. And I did manage to get up at a decent hour so I could possibly  make it to the meeting and get to work. Yes of course we have another SEPTA strike  just like we did in 2009. Well I walked to the meeting and while I was walking to work, I checked how much Uber wants to price gouge me. Well, from 30th St.  to 58th and market! 
Well I walked to the meeting and I even walked straight to work. I checked out Uber to see how much it cost from 30th St. to 58th St. and it was between $45 and $56 one-way. Now that's what I call price gouging!!It's pretty brisk out here but I did dress warm enough fortunately. I  walked up Walnut Street. I did think about having another cup of coffee because it was pretty frosty. You know it's going to be bad when they can't even agree on how much the bathroom breaks are going to be for the employees. It's too bad assholes rule the world. It is nice weather. With the transportation system on strike I must've walked about 8 miles this morning before work. Tomorrow I get a ride in but I have to walk about another 
 2 miles to be picked up. None of my clients showed up except for 1 out of the 8 people I scheduled. I have to adjust my scheduling assuming no one will show up or do their work programs until SEPTA strike ends. Hopefully in a week or less. I have 2 appointments
downtown. I'm taking a quick coffee break in between. I got a ride downtown which was really fortunate. I went into elixir café and mellowed out for a  
moment and had a decaf Americano. It was quite tasty I must say. Well the first appointment it was just a med check it wasn't too bad at all. I did wait an hour but I dozed off while  
waiting. Second one got pretty intense but I thought it was pretty 
positive though. I do have to fight off my harsh judgment of  
myself that creeps up like socialism. 
 After my apointmants  I walked home through the model traffic. I got home fairly early because my appointments were really early. think I'll just walk home and take a shower.
