Ever Have One of Those Weeks?
I didn't write about something from my trip on Wednesday due to its disgusting nature, but some events that happened yesterday kind of made me feel bad for this man:
FLASHBACK to Wednesday
A guy that went up with the group to the baseball game decided to drink alot of beer during the game. And when I mean alot it seems like he was going up to the concession stand every half inning or so. Anyways I don't think he had done that in a while because alot of it came back up when we were about 20 minutes into our 2 hour trip home.
The bus driver had told us before we left that he wasn't the usual trip driver he was just volunteered for some extra bucks. But with the drunk passed out and immobile, it was the drivers job to get the mess cleaned up so the rest of us wouldn't throw up to due to the smell. After about 20 minutes and some help he got everything in line to the point where we could go home and not worry about the smell too much. All I could think while he was cleaning was he would never drive for a group again.
BACK TO YESTERDAY
I was suprised when I got on the bus to go to Kumamoto when I saw the guy from Wednesday behind the wheel. "He must be really in need of money" I thought as I took my seat. When we had the few people from the first stop we started out from our Harbor View Club. Now this club has a covered driveway that is about 12 feet or so high. The bus driver (my guess) forgets what bus he's in and takes it under the awning. I was reading so I didn't really catch the dragging noise until we were halfway under the thing. He stopped and then gunned it to the point where the bus actually dipped due to the pressure that the roof was under, and then the big crash and he were free and driving out. Getting off the bus he totally ripped up the bottom of the awning and AC/heat fan that was probably sticking an extra foot from the top of the bus, was ripped clean off. The awning had several 2x4's protruding from under it. Quite a bit of damage to say the least. Base security had to come to file the damage report and we had to get a new bus. Overall we started our trip and hour and a half late.
After one of our stops I was watching the bus driver as he got back onto the bus, just when I thought his week couldn't get any better he slammed his head into the base of the TV that rested above his driver seat. You know it hurt as he said something in Japanese and sat down in his seat and held his head for a while. Bummer.
