Doh!

I am sure I mentioned I have a new part time job.  I have obtained my CDL and all the necessary endorsements to be a school bus driver.

Unfortunately they had people transfer in so they got routes and a couple of aides decided they were goi g to drive.  That means I am a sub.

Anyway a note on the board last week stated drivers had to be there 20 minutes before their route start time.  Nothing about subs.

Tuesday, September 2 I get a call.  Where
are you?  

Me: At home
Work:  Didn't you read the board?  
Me:  Yep all drivers are to report 20 minutes early before their route start time.  I'm a sub I don't have a start time.
Work: Which would explain why no subs showed up today.   (Accompanied by maniacal laughing on the other end of the line) 
Work:  Be here at 2:00

All I could think of is leave it to me to miss the first day of work!

I think I was punished the next day I had to be there at 5:30 am.  I then ended up subing for a route all week long. 

Sorry about the lack of pics.  I am posting from my phone.  I loaned my computer to the youngest daughter to apply to college and for some loans and grants.  I am thrilled that she is finally going to go back to school even though she has a full plate with the four kids.

  6. I can't even imagine trying to coordinate all those buses, but you'd think they'd be a little more specific. At least you weren't the only one who didn't show up! Drive safe!
