Glad you still have a job - that was addressed at our training meeting this morning as well.  You have a specific "training bus"?  Can you share more?

You guys have it much worse than I do. I'm glad you're not throwing in the towel like so many are. We have very few farms left here and only one dairy that I can think of. I don't have many crocuses but they do cheer me up.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Pam - At least we'll all still have good jobs. Believe me, we've noticed here, businesses have been closing or moving out of state for the last several years. The woman I was training had just lost her job. Rain this morning melted more of the snow and the snow we got this afternoon didn't stick so I hope to be able to go out and play between runs tomorrow.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Heather - Thanks! The birds are all coming back and I see a good variety from my "office" window. The training bus is very cool and I wish we had more opportunity to use it. It was built by a group of bus drivers from several districts. You'd think there'd be a whole lot of bus drivers blogging but I only know of a handful.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20358078/7158366216317060598/comments/default/8973636603986381094'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20358078/7158366216317060598/comments/default/8973636603986381094'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://appledoesntfallfar.blogspot.com/2009/03/blues.html?showComment=1238462040000#c8973636603986381094' title=''/><author><name>Apple</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='15449964186873563120'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://appledoesntfallfar.blogspot.com/2009/03/blues.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358078.post-7158366216317060598' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20358078/posts/default/7158366216317060598' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358078.post-4304294979721771786</id><published>2009-03-30T08:18:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-30T08:18:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I'd say with all that you have on your plate you a...</title><content type='html'>I'd say with all that you have on your plate you are entitled to the blues every now and then, hopefully the sun will shine a little more now and make us all feel better. You are lucky to have blooms on your flowers, all I have are stems. I do have birdies all over so that helps a little. That safety bus is very cool. I wish we had something like that around here. It's good to have you back, I love hearing from other bus drivers! &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Have a great week!</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20358078/7158366216317060598/comments/default/4304294979721771786'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20358078/7158366216317060598/comments/default/4304294979721771786'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://appledoesntfallfar.blogspot.com/2009/03/blues.html?showComment=1238415480000#c4304294979721771786' title=''/><author><name>Heather</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01830179596215153756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07710501933070862581'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://appledoesntfallfar.blogspot.com/2009/03/blues.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358078.post-7158366216317060598' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/20358078/posts/default/7158366216317060598' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358078.post-3246880396065595681</id><published>2009-03-30T07:33:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-30T07:33:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Wow, a lot going on at work.
