Aria,

thanks for reading. You crossed my mind yesterday when I was reading Digitalink's blog. That makes 3 Jamaican residents in Blogit.

What a rotten situation for your son! I hope that it can get resolved soon for you both.

Void,

He has a car and apparently makes trips. Trips, he's not planning very well. My son lives 7-10 minutes away from school. It shouldn't take that long to get him home.

Word, getting someone else sounds like the way to go. This is your

son, not some parcel that didn't make it on someone's desk on time... and what the hell is he doing riding around for 2 or 3 hours? Is this Mr. Brown going for joy rides?

I'm getting someone else, Cass.

Starting Monday.

Ms. Vision, having someone dependable does make life a lot easier.

Amateur, I'm getting someone else.

I would be furious too! Is there some other way he can get to school?

It would make me cross too. Finding a reliable, trustworthy punctual and safe driver will take a lot of worries off your mind. Children are so precious!

word.smith, I think you should get someone else to drive your son to school. A person who cannot call up beforehand to inform you that he or she will be late is palpably irresponsible.

Mystic,

Yes, it does get to me. My son is just as impatient as I am, so I understand what he's going through. This morning when I called he'd only just left at 7:45 and he was ready to go by 7:10. Monday, I'm starting with someone else.

I dunno Strat...

Seems like saying we're going to do it is one thing and the doing is quite another.

Why haven't you canned him by now???

Doesn't it break your heart that your kid is standing on the sidewalk watching all the other kids be picked up and there he is, hours later, still waiting, and waiting

Arrghh. What a pain in the, well, you know...

Why can't people just do what thye say they're going to do?

That's oh so true, Tapsel.

word.smith, I think that waiting on people who care not that they are making people wait is one of the most frustrating things there is.

Thank you Symph,

I'm getting myself sorted out.

Quirky,

Friday is my last day with him, thank God!

Joe,

people who you can't depend on are usually irresponsible and it only gets worse.

Thanks Katray,

I think the new guy will do. I've got good reports on his punctuality. My boy was not amused at all. Last week, he wanted to go back inside and take his school clothes off. Yesterday, he was hell bent on taking a taxi to get to school after waiting for what, to him, must seem like forever.

Wow, good luck...I hope it all gets resolved...

take care

He doesn't sound like he was taking the job very seriously--definitely deserves to be replaced!!

posted by Julia. on September 13, 2005 at 10:08 PM | link to this | reply

I'm that way, too.

Once you've lied to me, that's it. In my mind, I'll question everything that you say. And, if I did have children, I'm sure the first time you proved yourself undependable, I would question your ability every day that I used your services in the future.

Don't blame ya for looking for another drive.r

Bad enough when adults are treated to such rude behavior

but truly inexcusable treatment of a child. Your anger and determination to replace him are well justified Word. Hope the new driver works out.

Libertine,

Yes, yes, yes. It is never too early to teach children certain things. I don't want him to be neurotic, but if he develops the habit of being on time, he'll never have to dash around breathlessly from place to place - like I see my boss doing everyday. He's always late! Time and again I tell him that one day he's going to be stopped in his tracks by a heart attack from all this rushing around.

He'll have a 10:30 meeting half an hour away and at 10:20 he can be found dashing out the door.

Original, I've made contact with someone else.

He comes highly recommended. I'm hoping for better things.

Thanks Silver,

I hope so too.

I hear you sister. I can't abide tardiness either, and when you're dealing with a kid it's even more important. I've gotten more punctual as I've gotten older.

I am glad to see that you are getting someone

else to drive your son. The first guy definitely was not up to par!

Good luck with the next person who transports your son. Hopefully, that one will take his job more seriously!
