message from bus driver tonight
Bus arrived five minutes late at relief point. (To be expected)
Tire Chains
No leader for some unexplained reason
Never had as many people crammed in a bus before.
Ran 20 to 25 Minutes late all night
Had to listen to the drone and feel the vibrations of the tire chains all night.
Only the second day I've worked this week but it feels like I've worked three weeks non stop
Had a great time out there tonight, hope tomorrow will be just as wonderful!
GOOD NIGHT!!!
I forgot to mention the guy who told me "fuck you" when I told him not to smoke while waiting in line to board the bus. The asshole was blowing smoke right into other passenger's faces!!

NEW DRIVERS BREAK ROOM AT THE MILLIKAN WAY TRANSIT CENTER
Thanks to Merlo Operator Robert Bishop, a select group of operators now have a warm spot to wait for road reliefs at the Millikan Way Transit Center. Bob (now known as Millikan Bob) parked his 1982 Mazda pickup at the Transit Center earlier this week. Drivers with the special access key can read one of the magazines he has left or listen to the AM radio while waiting.
Sunset Bob was elated when he learned of this newest addition to TriMet's facilities. "I'm glad to see another operator step up to the plate and make the workplace a little more pleasant for other operators." "Now if we get someone to take ownership of the Beaverton TC, Willow Creek, and Hillsboro Transit Centers, we can make our TriMet work experience better."
Thanks again Millikan Bob!!

Violence Against Mall Santas Escalates
MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL (CAP) - Consumer violence continued yesterday when the Santa Claus at the Mall of America was attacked by hundreds of children who broke through a plastic mistletoe-and-holly barrier.
"He really had no time to reason with them," said Minneapolis/St. Paul Police Chief John Hannigan, who said that Santa had grabbed a large, Styrofoam candy cane to defend himself, but it only took a few seconds before he was on the ground "with a face full of Stride-Rites."
