I'm a school bus driver and a lot of my colleagues smoke. The ones in their 40s and 50s look 70+ and they're just so ... leathery. The ones older than that look like zombies.
My God...how do you drive around in a school bus as a smoker and not smoke for the entire route. That's gotta be one of the most stressful jobs around, right up there with bomb squad technician. The shit you guys have to deal with.
As a parent of two kids...one loud and high-energy, the other a prime target for bullying...I appreciate what you do.
Also, I have 9 chickens and they are awesome. I keep wanting to take one to the bus stop on my shoulder like a pirate.
Funny you should mention that - a lot of them have taken up vaping and they vape on the fucking buses. At least they only do it in between runs (as far as I know) and not with actual kids aboard. This shit pisses me off almost as much as when they talk on their phones while driving, and surprise surprise it's the same shitty people doing both things (and they're all trump supporters too).
I appreciate your appreciation, but we do get paid for it. It's a pretty soft gig for just driving a big Tonka truck around.
