Baku is a beautiful city

Haha the cops one reminds me of a couple weeks ago…

I took the train without tapping my card (omg I know!)

A bunch of cops were blocking the exit when I got off checking people’s cards.

The only way out is through.

So I hand one of them my card, he taps his little machine and hands it back. I see the little wheel is still spinning and just walk off, normally, but maybe a little quickly. 😆

He’s chilled out in the modern age 🤷‍♂️

I pirate big label stuff and get smaller artists off band camp to throw them a few bucks

Yeah because when it comes to getting ahead skills don’t matter. What really matters is who your uncle is or whose ass you kiss.

I actually didn’t mind the job part of the job. I thought I would hate having my cargo talk to me, but the kids were alright. It was the low pay and management’s bullshit that made it awful.

Actually I found that I stopped getting sick. I guess being exposed to everything in small doses every day strengthened my immune system. 🤷‍♂️

I’m a former truck driver. I went back to school and graduated during the pandemic to an industry that required people to be around eachother. I took the job to tide me over until things opened up again.

Knowing they were short qualified drivers, I was very loud about these issues. I did eventually get my route fixed, but it took 3 months! I quit when I was reprimanded and told to let kids pee their pants after stopping at a gas station to let a little girl pee.

In my area it’s retired people and immigrants. Regardless, the job is a huge responsibility and should pay as such. Safety concerns and late routes should be taken seriously.

I don’t doubt it. I drove a school bus for three years. The companies don’t give a fuck about anything but money.

Your route is literally impossible to do because of the laws of physics? Tough shit. Routes go over an hour and a kid has to pee? Let them pee their pants. Also, we’re going to pay you minimum wage while being responsible for a heavy vehicle carrying 30+ children in rush hour traffic. These are the problems drivers face. Its why they have like 300% turnover.
