What's making you feel smug today?

You may have seen that another Dweller has pointed out that a strike has interrupted ferry services between My Island Home and the Big Island today.
I was planning to go to a music rehearsal which meant that I had booked a ferry trip with the car for this evening (strike day). As soon as I heard the first mention of the strike date I changed the booking to yesterday instead. I later heard that the ferry company were not taking bookings for strike day or the two previous days (overtime ban in place for those days), but I had acted so quickly that I don't even think the guy who took my changed booking realised that the strike date had been agreed.
As a result of the extra gratuitous day on the Big Island Mr Limey and I was friends and got a few things done. But mostly I feel smug.
PS: strike is for one day only and will not affect anyone's Birthday Bonanza Trips. Honest.
