Any way I finally got to drive BY MYSELF on Wednesday October 17th for work.
One of my co-workers came up to me and asked me if
I could go to Peru and take some papers to a teacher there and pick up a parent at her apartment.
I told her that I don't know Peru that well I just know how to get to the school and that was it.
She said that the boss would be there in 15 minuets and she would talk to me about it. WELL that never happened, I had to go on the other side of the building to get something and when I came back the receptionist handed me the key and the papers I was to give the teacher in Peru.
She said " take these to the teacher and that the boss was very proud of me and you can leave at 11:15 a.m." This was told to me at 11:09 a.m. I remember because I looked right at the clock when she said the time.
I said I'm going now because if I don't go now I wont have the courage to go then. So I got my jacket and left the building right then.
This is what our vans look like but says "Kokomo-Centers Head Start Program" on the side.
Anyway I pull up at the stop sign and pull out onto Sycamore going toward 31. Thank god I had to stop at the light. I said OUT LOUD (remember, I was by my self) "LORD JESUS BE WITH ME" the light turned green and off I went to Peru.
Everything went well until I got almost to Grissom and there it came beside me A BIG HUGE SEMI. I kept saying to my self go away, go away, go away (I hate semi's even when I'm a passenger) Thank goodness for the last person that drove this van because as that semi went passed the BEATLES came on the radio (I couldn't tell you what song but I knew it was the Beatles) and I was singing along in my head.
WELL I got to the school just fine no accidents no nothing just shaking like a leaf. The teacher and her aid were very surprised to see me by myself they even knew I didn't drive. Then I had to go FIND this parents apartment, they did give me directions. I found her apartment and pick her up, when she got into the van I got to the stop sign of her complex and I asked her if she knew how to drive then told her I haven't drove since 2 day's after Christmas when I got my drivers license. She said "yes i do, do you want me to drive?" I said NO that the boss is making me drive and I need a witness to say that I did drive, besides I don't want you to lie.
We made it safe and sound back to
Sycamore Elementary School/Head Start!
Still shaking but alright.
I called B about a half hour later and told him everything that happened and he said it was good experience for me and right before we hung up he said "Do me a favor and don't do that ever again." I told him I can't promise that I have to do what my boss tells me to do she would not be happy with me if I refused.
