Last Week Of Training

Last week of Training

I started my 5th week of training today. We are tying up last details and bus hopping to kill time, My Trainer says he is recommending full status for Fri. Last test is driving with the Safety Person and once He declares that I am Safe , that's it. It has been a fun and difficult. Fun driving the bus. Difficult ,getting to work and cleaning up while sweating in the hated tent. I can't wait for a cooked meal and my own bathroom. To sleep in the cooled room with a comfortable bed but it will be a bit yet. Coming up with the $1500 needed to secure an apartment , This figure includes deposit and application fee , plus I'll need the deposit to get the electricity turned on. This is bare bones without housewares ,toiletries , or food or furnishings but I'll take it over the tent any day . these things will be aquired in time. getting indoors is my first priority. I've come this far and I'm almost there. So you see , A brighter day did come. Chin up my struggling friends , you to will have a brighter day. keep a stout heart and find faith where you can.

On The Steady

On  The  Steady

Started my 4th week at RTS. I got a partial pay of 1 week. It wasn't enough to get indoors but It does cover food , laundry , personal care items etc. I fulfilled one of my small wishes by getting a hotel room for the night on 7/4. It was so great to relax in the A/C and eat and watch TV. I took two showers just because it felt so nice and civilized. I went to the barber shop and had a fine haircut. I got up at 6:00am and got ready for work , Had coffee and caught the bus. I've been driving routes and next week will be on assignment. I drive while a seasoned driver critiques me and gives me feedback on a working scheduled route. I did one day of this already ,working the fare box , setting trip times and header. I was told I did an excellent job and he is recommending that I am ready to drive solo on my own route. However training is complete when my instuctor says so.
