The Down/Upside of Driving

I hate taking the bus to work. It’s always crowded, running late or no seats left on the bus. But since my car broke down, this is what I have to deal with. Since Last week Tuesday, my radiator on the car over heated and busted. Now I must pay for a new radiator, pay to have it put in and I have to buy a new thermostat. This sucks major a** because I now have to wake up earlier than usual just to get ready and wait for the bus. What really puts the icing on the cake is besides me having to work with kids, I must take the bus with rowdy, loud, and obnoxious older kids on the bus. Being that they get out of school around noon and myself having to be at work for 2pm just in time for more kids to get out of school. I refuse to fix my car right now anyway because as soon as it is up and running and everyone knows I am driving, I will begin to get phone calls left and right asking for a ride to go somewhere. Funny thing is, no one bothers contributing to gas and so for that reason alone, I am done being nice. I have to work to earn my money and I’m not letting anyone take it away from me for their own selfish reasons. Sometimes I feel glad that my car isn’t driving right now because it really shows you how much people cares. No one comes around when your not driving but when you are, everyone is your friend. SMH
