Committed to the Cause - Update
Turns out the strikers don't picket when it rains. Can't blame them. It's wet out there. Has been for a few days. Cold too.
They're kind of like my building's handyman that way. He refuses to work in the rain too. Probably afraid he'll melt. Like the Wicked Witch.
But when it's not raining, they're out waving their signs. The lady I wrote about last time isn't alone anymore, either! She's got a gentleman at her side now. And her cane is festively decorated for the season. Who doesn't love tinsel?
I wonder if she picked her writer escort up in some sort of displaced WGA-friendly Match.com. Can you imagine?
Just to show solidarity with the working man, Spanky and I ate lunch at a deli that had the picket signs prominently displayed in their window. We're good that way.

I love how the writers think they can't be replaced. Like it takes a tonne of talent to write a groin- kicking joke for 'She's all that' or 'American Pie'. Modern cinema and television is mostly crap. The ones who write masterpieces do get paid well. The rest are just hacks looking for extra hack money.
Technically, they can't be replaced. Not without crossing the picket line. And no one is too eager to do that.
good thing i'm not an employed writer yet.
I hate picketing.
It's so boring.
I wonder if this is a boon for books? Doubt it, stupid Americans will watch reruns for decades. Hey, MASH is on.....
