Transit Strike Coverage: News You Can Snooze

daily snooze.pngLucky you — you’re reading this from work because the NY Transit Union decided at 6:30 am to extend the deadline for deciding whether to strike.

Unlucky them — that is, the journalists who had nothing to do but cool their heels and twiddle their thumbs while they waited, and waited, and waited for some sort of resolution so they could write the damn thing up and go home, or get some sort of photo that would pass for an action shot. Subway strike is big news, man!

Fishbowl’s intrepid reporter Bucky Turco was the man on the scene – again – and caught the hot action of…waiting. And waiting. And then sleeping. Honestly, when you’re that tired grungy conference room carpet seriously seems comfortable. Bucky filed these EXCLUSIVE PICS to the Fishbowl newsroom at 5:18 am this morning with a promise to send more deets once he had a chancedaily snooze ii.png to nap in an actual bed. Perhaps then we’ll find out who these poor saps are (apparently not print journos from the dailies — “they were the first to be sent home” reported Bucky, after they missed their deadlines (2am for the Daily News, 1am for the NYPost, 2am for Newsday).

Well, enjoy these pics and look forward to more info later. They don’t call Fishbowl “New York’s Picture Blog” for nothing!
