And right now in Sunnyside, there's a shortage of early education seats.

Therefore, I have to travel to Woodside, which means that I go towards Eastern Queen's 45 minutes to drop off my child, and then I have to travel back into the city another 40 minutes to get here.

And as you can see, a lot of my colleagues were children, They're probably dealing with school transportation issues to get here on time, but I'm sure they'll be here.
