1/10/08 Routes *in bus #9205*

AM
SHES- This morning bus #9205 has no taillights or parking lights. I pulled the headlight switch on and off a dozen or so times and I also hit the dimmer switch many, many times. The dimmer switch did get the taillights to come on a couple of times but they just went back off immediately, so the mechanics brought me another bus!!!!!! But this time it is #9504 I was soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy to hear this news, I almost broke down in tears, but I soon had to shift into driving mode out of elation because I was starting both my routes 20 minutes late! I started at 7:05. Arrived at school at 7:30am. Head count 32.
BSMS- Arrived at school at 8:28am. Head count 42.
PM
SHES- I failed to write down the actual mileage in all the excitement this morning, so I wrote it down this afternoon and subtracted my route mileage from the total to get a beginning mileage for the month of January. I checked everything super carefully, I could see all the new parts, wiring, looks like even a new inline fuse in the battery box. I guess the figured out what was wrong with it, but there is no pick copy of the work order so I don't know for sure. Daisha was TA. Ariel was OOS. Breanu was talking ugly about David. Trent had a nylon strap (from Ariel's Bookbag) and he hit Kinslei on the arm with it, it left 2 red marks on her arm. I explained to Trent that I would have to write him up in case her parents were upset about the marks. Head count 33.
BSMS- Zsaree was TA. Chaunne was hitting. Kahlil, Jordan and Micheal were clapping. Brandon HTS. Head count 44.
