Happy Announcement

Wildflower · November 24, 2020, 12:50:06 PM

Well I am happy to announce that as of January 1, 2021, I will be joining the retired. 8)
I have driven school bus for 28 years now and am finally able to retire and enjoy life a little. I am looking forward to doing a lot of sewing and reading, and spending time with my friend, accomplice, and husband, yes they are all the same person. :D

Congratulations! If you survived 28 years of screaming kids on a bus, you can handle anything!

submarinesailor · November 24, 2020, 12:53:13 PM

Even Jeff. Congratulations, you may well have no time to do things, they keep building up, and the list gets longer, we have developed a "day at a time philosophy", and try to finish SOMETHING each day.

Roxie · November 24, 2020, 01:29:53 PM

I am so happy for you!

sawguy21 · November 24, 2020, 01:37:04 PM

Good for you! You will probably wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

barbender · November 24, 2020, 02:44:19 PM

Awesome news, congratulations!

Raider Bill · November 24, 2020, 03:22:30 PM

One can only dream...
Good for you!

SwampDonkey · November 24, 2020, 03:33:41 PM

That's really great Tammy. Couldn't be a more deserving person, putting up with that Jeff character on them years. The biggest kid on the school bus. :D ;)

Tom King · November 24, 2020, 04:12:39 PM

You're lucky. I figure I'll quit working at 10 in the morning, on the day of my funeral.

Congrats on that.

Congratulations! You never retire, you'll just be driving a shorter bus

gspren · November 24, 2020, 05:36:59 PM

Congratulations! Being retired is the best job I ever had. Do they have trouble hiring bus drivers in your area? Around here there is a shortage of drivers.

thecfarm · November 24, 2020, 05:48:58 PM

Lucky you!!!

WV Sawmiller · November 24, 2020, 06:33:16 PM

Congrats and Happy Retirement. An old USMC buddy of mine came by weeks ago. They had retired for good, sold everything and bought a motorhome and were towing a Jeep SUV and touring the country. I guess you won't be able to do that as y'all probably would not have enough bandwidth to run the FF on the move like that. :D

My younger brother was driving a bus till he could not pass the physical so now he is a dispatcher. They have had a crying need for drivers there in Escambia County Fla (Pensacola & north for about 50 miles to the Ala line). I gather that is the case in lots of other areas too.

Stay safe and stay busy doing what you want to do instead of what you have to do.

Yes there is a great shortage of school bus drivers. They told me I can come and drive 30 days i retire, Don't know if I want to or not

Congratulations for sure! 8)

I retired from driving bus, back in Nov of 2012, and still miss the kids, the management, not so much!

Takes quite a while for your internal alarm clock to readjust!

RichTired · November 25, 2020, 11:00:52 AM

Congratulations as you start your new adventure of "Retirement"!

Congrats Tammy, you will find out as Linda and I did that you will wonder how you found time for a regular job.
Retirement is a busy time at least for us

Wildflower · November 25, 2020, 01:07:16 PM

I am already starting to find that I don't know how I had a regular job. Just sitting here thinking about all I want to do.

Congratulations on your Happy Announcement, Tammy. Twenty eight years is a long time to haul students, and I'm certain that they'll miss you. I feel that you've made a good many friends that have been your passengers. Enjoy it all that you can. Now you and Jeff will have some free time to do what you want.
