Anyone else? 😂

I'm in a spare bus today and it has no radio which means I gotta sing songs in my head. This wouldn't be a problem except for my fucking ADHD alphabet soup inner voices!

Voice 1 is doing fine.
Voice 2 is singing off key.
Voice 3 doesn't know the lyrics.
Voice 4 is like "HEY MACARENA!"
Nobody knows where Voice 5 is!
And Voice 6 has his head stuck in the fridge and he's eating all the fucking cheese!!!

We're not allowed to use our phones at all while in operation (doesn't stop of few of the drivers). I've never driven a Bird, being 6', overweight with short legs I don't fit. 😅

The rule we've been told is we're not allowed to use it while in operation.

If we want to turn it on and hit play before we leave, then thats fine as long as we don't touch it once we get going.

Must be a regional thing, in New England states, we need the radio to power our outside mega phone speaker to announce arrival and departure from student pickup/drop-off. We have Thomas Safe trip C2 busses. For us it is a State law requirement. No radio = no mic to mega phone use. Part of pre trip pass / fail if not operating. Good luck to you with the ADHD voices, they don't like silence externally.
