Another Ironic Strike

This morning I was riding my bike to the bank and I heard all this yelling and protesting, and it turns out that the workers of the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf are now on strike! I personally couldn't care less, as I stopped going there (on my own personal protest) because their stuff is too expensive, and the place is allways packed with either obnoxious 19 year old American kids, or with those old Tel Aviv ladies who still speak Polish or Hungarian and allways have issues with the food and return coffees three times because it is too cold or too hot or too much milk and they never give you the spare seat because "my jacket goes here". I long ago transfered to a different coffee shop, Vitali, on Shlomo Hamelekh and Arlozerov. Better food, cheaper, and quieter, and closer to home. I still go to Coffee Bean on occasions, because it is open on Shabbat and you can sit in the back on the couches, and the place is big enough/noisy enough/packed enough that you don't actually have to even buy anything.

I am also trying to figure out if I can finish this degree in the allotted two years now that the strike is over...
