Lady of the Van

Had my first day in the after school care program I'll be working in. And it was a rough, rough day. I think I would have preferred someone just rubbing sand paper on my face.

So, long (excruciating) story short, I'm the one who's been given the glorious job of riding the van for one and a half hours everyday (not exaggerating.) And yesterday the first girl I picked up was 20 minutes late getting out of school, which...made me 20 minutes late to the next 5 schools I had to go to. Parents were called, parents showed up, parents yelled at me asking why their child was waiting for 40 minutes, schools called my school asking where the van was, kids weren't where they were supposed to be causing me to be even more late to the remaining schools, the list goes on and on. Not to mention that I had never been to any of these schools before so in order to "Pick up such and such kid at the office" I had to first find the office.

I'm hoping this was a one time ordeal. Though even if things do calm down today, just knowing that I'll have to ride that van everyday from 2:20-3:50...pains me. PAINS me.
