After a bit of a dry spell, this past week has provided a plethora of fodder for my blogging pleasure.
We have quite a few riders with developmental disabilities. Many of them live in group homes that are supposed to provide them supervision. One group home had a "doctor" who seemed like the weaseliest doctor we'd ever met. We always questioned if he was really a doctor, but then most of the folks we deal with have an inflated presentation of their status.
Tonight's newspaper verified our gut response to Dr. Ewwww. Apparently he had been featured on America's Most Wanted.

Guest Comments (the PC title for COMPLAINTS)
Okay, this might actually fall under the previous post (since it does fall within the 3-day full moon "hangover" period), but it was so bizarre that I have given it a post all of it's own.
Just as I was walking out the door yesterday afternoon, I answered one last phone call. That was my first mistake. One of our tasks is to take "guest comments" and route them to the appropriate person for a response.
Yesterday's call was from a woman who was waiting at the stop on the outskirts of Wenatchee, which is also where our buses reside and the starting place for the drivers. There was a driver who was also at the stop, as he was going to relieve the driver of the bus they were waiting for.
The trouble began when the driver began to whistle. I know, whistling is not generally considered an unpardonable sin, but I found out it is. She asked him to stop, and he reportedly asked why. She told him that she was a whistleblower, so he should not whistle around her. Besides she's a feminist and has no thyroid, so he should not harass her by whistling. Of course it took her 20 minutes to report her complaint, since there was no detail too minute to include.
Sooooo, the moral of this story is.....if you find whistling irritating, you might want to have your thyroid checked!
