The strike

At UCSF this past week, the has been a strike from the service workers. Every day, they congregate outside the hospital, bang their drums, chant, walk in circles protesting their low pay. (Note: We residents calculated our salary per hour and frankly, we make close to the same amount. Scary, hunh?) It's affected the cafeteria (no grill??? no fair!) and shuttle services (purple shuttle? what? I was confused enough about the shuttle routes and now there are new temporary ones. grrr.). Hopefully, they settle soon...


And because of the heightened police presence to these potential trouble-makers (I don't get it) and their general increased level of boredom, one of my fellow interns had a little run-in with one of these cops. It's actually a funny story (nothing bad happened!), but you have to know my friend to really get the hilarity of it. :)
