This may apply only to work done at night, but beware!

And I thought our schools are bad.

Driver didn't check after his junior high a.m. run. Goes on to his elementary school run and the junior high kids wakes up. Driver eventually gets the kid to his JHS but the school reported the incident to OPT. Driver is fined over $400. Expensive lesson but nothing compared to what could have happened.

Second time in as many months that something like this happens. In the first incident the driver was even luckier. The parents called the school and told them they didn't want the driver reported, that they love him and don't want him to get in trouble. The also called the driver and APOLOGIZED to him for their child having fallen asleep. Nothing ever came of the incident. Can't ask for a better outcome than that!

Check you bus.

Sorry to say that Richie Carey has passed. Many years of fighting his illness is over, suffering ended. Will post arrangements when I get them. Condolences to his family.

Temporary for now ... but you know it's just a matter of time.

If you get a junior high only summer school run this year you'll only work 4 days.

For all grades, as I believe it was last year,  only students who are dismissed by 3 p.m. will get yellow bus service.

Check monitor for dismissal times.

Last week in Durham, NC. Driver got all the kids off safely, thankfully. No, not electric ... it was a diesel bus. No time to waste. If you see smoke, evacuate!

Back to work folks ... https://apps.labor.ny.gov/IndividualReg//

If you have to open a new claim for Presidents Week do it on Monday, not this Sunday, (as I heard someone being told). Unemployment week is from Monday to Sunday so this Sunday you would be claiming for this week which you just worked, capeesh? Can't do that.

You can open a new claim Monday or any day during the coming week. You will be told to certify a week from this Wednesday but you can do it  Sunday the 25th.

Roads look pretty clear according to these traffic cameras ... https://www.weatherbug.com/traffic-cam/staten-island-ny-10306

So ... one of my oriental fathers handed me this little red envelope, (that color means "good luck" to them), with a 20 dollar bill inside! Helps offset the 15% loss in pay tomorrow ... LOL.

You go, dragon!!

Public schools will go to remote learning tomorrow due to upcoming snow storm.
