SO MAD

By amysmith

So i walked to the bus stop to wait for the kids, and emily never got off the bus. asked our neighbor if she saw her, and nope, she never got on her bus. the problems began yesterday, you see, we never received a card in the mail telling us what bus she would take home from central. she went to the office, and they helped her onto the right bus, actually they shuffled her on, and she never looked at the bus number, that bus takes her to the high school where she changes to a different bus to come home. i was already irritated with this scinario, not sure why they can’t just bring her straight home, since that is what she does in the morning, but anyway…. i still did not have a phone call, or emily at 4:30pm. she gets out of school at 3:08pm. i called the dept. of trans. aka the bus barn, and guess what, yes, a recording, they closed at 3:00pm. i spat out an angry message and hung up. steve was already on his way over to central to find out where she was, and then she walked thru the door. apparently she went to the office forĀ  help finding her bus, they once again shuffled her onto a bus going to the high school (i guess several of the busses go there from central), and the bus she was on broke down, for about 45 minutes, so they missed their connections at the high school. her bus driver called the bus barn, and told them that she had emily, and that she would bring her home, BUT that would only be effective if THEY ANSWERED THEIR PHONES. i am livid, and am trying real hard to calm down… before i let them have it in the morning….

    Sorry that I never called you back! Steve was on the phone forever with that guy and then it was supper and that was all she wrote! Bedtime before I knew it! I hope you get some answers from the bus barn about this fiasco! I wish that I would get off of work every day around three…then I would go pick her up for you and she wouldn’t have to ever do that connecting bus thing again!! She didn’t get home until nearly supper time! Poor girl! Let me know what you find out. I can pick her up on the days that I get off early enough if you want me to!

    no, wonderful neighbor, that is not necessary. she just needs to figure it out, and she will.

    i saw in your note to jean that she had a bad day -was that just bus related?

    yah, and still figuring out the locker. emily was fine, she knew where she was.

    right – that bus thing happened to Morgan once too but she was only about 30 minutes late
    kind of similar to Morgan’s airport experience – she didn’t care one bit that she was delayed 48 hours – she was tired but not ever worried
