School is in Session

It has been awhile since I posted anything. Work has been crazy. Long days that turn into long weeks. Today I worked from 5:00am to 5:00pm. It was my shortest day this week. I eat lunch at my desk while taking voice mail off my phone. But with school in session everyone thinks they need special treatment. Here are some of the funnier requests.

Move the bus stop it is in a bad neighborhood (Hello, it's your neighborhood)
My daughter needs a special needs bus, her feet are small.
Can't you pick my child up before 6:30 am? I need to leave for work. (schools starts a 8:10)
You need to move the bus stop closer to my house, my son plays the cello.
I have a speed bump in front of my house so the bus has to slow down anyway why can't my child get on then?

People say the strangest things. Some times I wonder if they can hear themselves.

I think you should send your list of requests to Jay Leno.
These are hysterical.

Makes me think of the first instrument I played in 5th grade, the french horn. I had to lug that thing EXTRA far because it wouldn't fit through the closest gate. Then again, we did live directly across from the school at he time...

Working at a call center is just like that. Oh man the things people would request and subsequently yell at you about...
