Obviously an important job
I had never really thought about it that way. Being a bus driver
is an incredibly important job that no one ever thinks about or gives people credit for. I mean, I can't imagine the responsibility of driving 40ish rugrats in a cheeswagon that requires a CDL to operate.
Props to The Clown for taking on that responsibility for beer money, essentially. I've got a retired buddy who is a crossing guard, along with an equally retired neighbor. They seem to love it. It gives them a reason to get out of the house, hang out with living people, and be a good example for kids.
I think it is increasingly important for good men to be in positions to influence kids, especially in school situations. Good to see -- provided that The Clown isn't using this as an opportunity to set up a distribution network like Walter White. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
* House of the Dragon started solid. I'm hopeful that HBO pulls this off. Feels like they lost their fastball during COVID because they couldn't make the sprawling high quality dramas where they are unquestionably the best -- The Sopranos, The Wire, True Detective, Game of Thrones, Barry, etc.
Now if GRRM will get off his fat *** and finish Winds of Winter, that's be great.
* Been dabbling with doing hypnosis lately. Kind of interesting. At worst, it is a really relaxing hour every couple of weeks where I'm focusing on self-improvement. I thought I would hate it or it wouldn't work on me but so far so good. I've been sleeping like a baby and had significantly reduced anxiety. Whether that is psychosomatic or a real effect, I really don't care.
* My wife left Monday to visit her brother in Australia for a couple of weeks. He's been there on a contract for Northop Grumman since 2019ish and she hasn't been able to go because of Australia's idiotic COVID policies where you had to quarantine alone in a hotel room every time you entered the country. He comes back early next year and they finally dropped the COVID idiocy so we put together the money on the fly and off she went.
Gonna be a weird couple of weeks. This will easily be the longest we've been apart since we got together in 2010. It will be nice to have the house to myself for a while but it is also a nice reminder that getting divorced would probably suck and she's my best friend.
