Sometimes a route will open up during the middle of the year. This is not common, but it does happen. Most drivers I work with do NOT like to change routes in the middle of the year. For this reason, a route with considerably more hours than my own reached me in the seniority list... I said yes.
With that one little word "yes" it was suddenly my last day with "my kids", the kids I've loved for the past 4 years, the kids who have come to love me. I was a bit sad... ok, a lot sad.
The next morning, I jumped on a new bus and set out on a new journey.
Two days later, two days of yelling "HEY, sit down" and yelling "sit down" and have I mentioned yelling "sit down"... two days later, a group of kids has formed around my seat.
Little girl... Are you our bus driver for the rest of the year?
Me... yup
Little girl... Are you nice?
Me... nope
Little girl... dang
