You can call me Katy (she/her)
I used to lurk back when the name just changed to hexbear but after some fallout i decided to leave. I really like what you’ve done with the place 💁♀️ the vibes are exquisite.
I really like public transport and trying to get a city job like driving the bus or even working for USPS but ideally public transport is my thing. I love 1920s-1950s black and white obscure films and i occasionally go to a theatre every time i have the day off. Trying to map out every theatre in my area as a fun lil hobby.
I love pizza and candy and i used to love burritos but after making them about 50 thousand times i am no longer a fan 😔🥲. If you’re ever in my area I could make you one for free though so hmu if you’re in the area 😛also would be really fucking cool if i can unionize my store because I’ve been able to turn my coworkers more left just through having discussions with them and they all seem to be on board with everything i say. Slowly but surely!
But yeah, good to be back i guess even if its a different vibe than one I’m used too. Don’t be shy!
Final thoughts (I broke hexbear with my wall of text):
Overall being a bus op is just another job, but its a job that can last a lifetime. Its stable, checks dont bounce, benefits are stellar, and serving the community (at least for me) gives me meaning. I used to work in IT for companies that were in bed with military contractors or made useless doohickeys. It was a stable career until it wasn’t. In the never ending chase for profits, silicon valley techbros will enthusiastically torture their workers until the very end and lay them off. Thankfully I got out before I was subject to the layoff part of their gamut of torture. The best part about having that CDL is even if you dont find bus driving fulfulling, having that will open the door to other jobs that are just as impactful to the community and stable (garbage trucks, towing et al).
I’d say consider becoming a bus operator! It has its easy and hard days but I’m confident you’ll love it! and uhh
once again, welcome back to Hexbear
