I know, I know I swore I wasn't going to work this summer, but I did. Buses just seem to be following me around too! I ended up subbing a route which was easy, four hour day. Then last Monday I moved buses from one school to another. No children involved easy enough.
Today was just plain freaky though. I pop over to my local grocery store to pick up a few things and there's two of our buses on a field trip! I stopped by long enough to give the drivers a hard time and then on with my summer!
Today is the last day of school!! I resisted the urge to put my name on a summer route too, it was put up after the rest had been bid on. NO! NO! I am NOT working this summer! I need break! Here comes summer! I am ready!
My driver's license was up for renewal on the 6th of June. I had to take ALL four tests too! Including the core knowledge test you take when you are 16! I just got my permit for driving a school bus 3 years ago too. Along with the core knowledge test I had to take the CDL, the passenger endorcement and school bus endorcement, 4 test in all. I was very, very nervous as the test is now computerized and if you miss a question it tells you right away. I did study and made sure I skipped any questions that I wasn't sure of. I was able to go back to them, or if I had enough questions correct the computer stopped the test with a passing grade.
AND of course I pass all four the first time! Now I am good for 8 years!
School is winding down, the high school kids take their finals Monday, the Junior high is going to the pool (I am driving), and the grade school kids only need to be tolerated for 1 and 1/2 more days.
It hailed on me yesterday, but the cooler temperatures have been welcome. It gets super hot on a school bus!
