Big strike to held tomorrow !?
This morning I noticed that there was an unusal leaflet on the door of a building. Looking (and walking) around the campus, I also noticed that the same leaflet had been stuck everywhere.
It is about the strike of the University of Waikato which was going to be held by all staff tomorrow. According to it, the staff were going to protest againt their vice chancellor over the issue of salary - their salary in NZ were less than in other countries whereas the chancellor had been refusing to raise it.
All staff are going to attend the strike. That is, subsequently, those lectures, tutorials, classes, and facilities (e.g. library service) would not be held or available as well. Not only the staff in the campus, but also major staff of LI are also going to strike tomorrow. Since there's a leaflet of it on the door of a student advisor's office, it looks like even student advisors are going to follow the crowd. That's a big deal!
What the earth will happen tomorrow? Peaceful protest? Throwing eggs or even rocks? Well, time will tell anyway...

By the way, somehow the ordered USB2 adapter is still not availabe today. The staff of RecycledTechnology said it shall be arrived the next morning. Now I'm a bit annoyed and getting doubt if they really can get one for me.
