There is ANOTHER train strike today. I wonder if I'll still be shocked by the amount of strikes come March or April. I think so. There was a teacher strike on Thursday, a post office strike on Saturday, and today marks the 4th strike of the SNCF since I've arrived in Saint Etienne.
I don't know how much more I can take.
Today's strike meant, for me, that the train I would've normally taken at 12:18, didn't exist. This train gets me to Rive de Gier over an hour before I would've had to teach, but is my only choice since the floods. So, my already limited train schedule has, today, become almost nonexistant. There was a train at 11:18, which I obviously missed, and now there is not another train until 3:18. Very practical for someone who has to teach a class at 2:00.
Damn the French and their strikes! If it were possible to strike against strikes I would! I'll let you know if I find a way. Until then, all of you Americans can rest easy knowing that you have your giant American cars to take you to work everyday.
