When I was 16, I landed my first real job in the School Board's Transportation Department. I got the job through a program at my high school which would allow me to attended classes in the morning and work at an office in the afternoons.
Most days, I assisted those in charge of the bus routes. From time to time, they allowed me to administer vision tests to the bus drivers.
I must say, however, that my absolute favorite part of the job was handling complaint calls from angry parents. As they droned on, I would chuckle inside myself wondering how they would react if they realized they were talking to a child.
Of course, the bus drivers had to be confronted with allegations made against them. Much to my amusement, it was left to me to administer driver reprimands. Even then, I couldn't help but wonder what those in charge were thinking. As for me, I waited with bells on for that next call to come in.
