  • I wake up at 4:30 AM each work day to go to work. I enjoy my work and look forward to another day of taking 50 children to school. I often take them on field trips on Saturdays. I also take them home each afternoon. I am a school bus driver and I am 78 years old.
    • Myang
      wow. i adore you so much sir. Doing the job positively with happiness and smile on your face i guess makes me overwhelmed. well i love kids as well. i hope someday i'll become like you as well for having such good attitudes towards your current reason of waking up early in the morning. anyway! good job Sir! Salute!

      Thank you. Kids are great and I greet each one by name each morning saying, "Good morning Miss so and so or Mr. so and so. If parents are there I wave to them. They know their children are safe with me. I have had kids say I am their favorite bus driver and they are not on my regular route but on trips only. I also tell each one bye and see them later when I get them to school and the same when I drop them off at their home. We bus drivers can set the attitude of the children each day by how we greet them. I am hoping to drive at least 3 more years. I have had some kids on my bus since they were in grade 3 and are now in grade 10 and 11.
    • Myang
      well.. you're my favorite already too! :D more years to come for you with your bus and school kids captain! we'll pray for that. :) Good morning captain!
    • Thinker
      Thank you, Need all the prayers I can get.
    • Myang
      the pleasure was all mine! Long live captain!
    • Myang
      anyway.. why you dont ask any questions in this site sir? :)) im expecting one from you soon :) take care!
    • Thinker
      LOL! There are too many questions to answer and I really don't have any to ask very often. If I ever do I ask but even on the old AB I asked very few questions. I enjoy answering questions and sometimes people do not understand what I say with my answers going way over their heads and learning.
    • Myang
      Oh i see.. i respect that. :) but be reminded that your answers give so much sense to me. and im thankful for that. :) hope to see more answers from you after all.
    • Thinker
      Thank you Myang. I answer many questions at times and few at other times. Some I just pass by because as I said above people do not understand my answers. Any answer I give can be backed up by one or more sources. Are you by any chance from China?
    • Myang
      I have a bloodline but not fully :) You're a great soothsayer. :) Dont think about that Sir. At least anybody can see your opinions about their concerns :D and having a backup sources make it more convincing. That's really a good technique for me.
    • Thinker
      This just showed up again. Thank you for the good words. there are those who don't like what I say but that is their choice. Have a good day Myang!
    • Myang
      Have a good day too! We have different opinions and perceptions in life and i respect everyone. :D Take care! :D
  • Hahaha who told you I get up early ? : P
    • Myang
      ok. lets set aside the "early" then.
    • Ice man
      In the winter I get up when I can't sleep any longer and I don't set the alarm, but I'm back to work now and I have to get up at whatever time I set the alarm for. : (
    • Myang
      do you feel bad about that?
    • Ice man
      I don't really feel bad about it because it's the life that I chose. You have to take the bad with the good, that's just life. But, sometimes it's hard when you are exhausted and you only have a few hours to sleep because you have to keep going.
    • Myang
      Life is what we make it . yeah. :) Please take enough time for you to rest. Our body is our only partner in life. :D

  • I wake up at 5:30AM. :)
    • Myang
      wow. too early. why you wake up so early like that?
    • Lisa Victoria
      to reach office on time, and to be fresh and healthy it's important for everyone to wake up early morning.
    • Myang
      are you not feeling sleep deprive in noon time? or afternoon?
    • Lisa Victoria
      yeah some time :D
    • Myang
      and what do you do during those sleepy times?
  • I wake at approximately 5:40am and that's only because I have to go to school and take care of my dogs... if I didn't have those, I wouldn't wake that early.
    • Myang
      lucky dogs :) i guess you have a good grades as well. ;)
  • To pee. I've worked most all shifts throughout my life at various jobs the earliest job I had to be to work at 4am to make biscuits! But then went to school after. I've also worked 9pm to 7am then to another job at 11am. Now I don't work much. My body's worn out, but my mind still works... well, most of the time anyway! ; )
  • Lately I sleep only 2 hours, then wake up hopelessly (because I need to sleep 8 hours normally, but cannot anymore :( And it's all because I trusted a damn doctor. Bad move. Doctors only guess, and only to get profit. And they give you side effects and long term bad effects and say so what. I once had a good doctor. Like a friend! But that's rare and she's gone now. Next time Mr Pants needs any drugs, I'll go down to Main Street and get the fun kind.

  • cause the construction guys wake me up

      Kinky.
  • So I don't miss breakfast, brunch, eleven o'clocksies and early lunch.
    • Ice man
      Four of the most important meals of the day !
    • we are dough 68
      Amen to that !
  • cause the trains keep waking me up and wont let me sleep
  • Lately its because I get tired early in the day and nap. Sometimes that nap turns into a nice long rest so I wake up. Sometimes early in the morning sometimes around 11pm, sometimes around 8pm. Fortunately I can usually sleep any time I want. After I finish chemo I may try to get a sleep schedule again, but right now I sleep whenever my body needs it.
