This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hope they didn't ticket the school bus

I'm a school bus driver. Last year our union shop steward got pulled over for DUI and blew a .32 which is insane. She was stopped at 3 AM and cited but somehow was at work that same morning at 6:30 AM and drove her normal route. The district found out about her DUI later in the day and she was suspended, but it's clear that she was still horribly fucked up when driving kids.

After more than a week she was allowed to resign rather than being fired, which means she was able to get a job driving for a different district. How she was able to do this with a DUI on her record is a mystery to us, too. She is also a councilwoman in a neighboring town but it's hard to imagine that level of politics gives you immunity from DUI. She did apparently flash her councilwoman ID to the officer that stopped her but that did her no good, at least at the time.

Like a public sector job in Wisconsin would have a union (and isn't police).

Our union is the Teamsters and when I was taking my school bus training class I joked to the guy next to me that I was concerned I was going to start getting calls to go down to the docks and break somebody's kneecaps. This guy, dead serious, said "I'd like that".
