Lou... 3,118 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I don't suppose uniform rules would allow you to keep a toothbrush or 2 in your pocket... Hey, we're not supposed to have two pens in one pocket, most IMs don't enforce it though, never mind two tooth brushes. mouseketab.....Carol and Nicki aka Rebelstand 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 That doesn't seem very efficient to remove one of their top drivers from the rotation for an hour.And I was out of circulation too. Nicki aka Rebelstand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I thought of you today Dave.As it was an 8 hour shift today, I had a one hour lunch and needed to kill some time. I decided that I'd go and walk the Utilidors/tunnels.While down there, who do I see coming coming towards me, yup, Snow White.Man she was looking hot all wrapped up in her cloak with the pouty red lips and stuff.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 "Snow White" and "hot" are not phrases that should be used together. Proper terms to be used with Snow White are "apple munching whack job", "crazed bird whisperer", "elusive biotch", or just simply "idiot". Roller ... aka Ed 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 We spent some time last month at that Hess station fueling & putting air in the tires. DH & I were watching the mechanics (if that's what they are) that were working on the busses. It really is sort of neat to watch - at least as exciting as waiting online for a picture with Snow.It's probably something many people never even think about but, having an automotive background, DH notices service techs everywhere. We thought the multiple bays for servicing wdw vehicles looked very efficient. Now if only they could make the air machine on the tourist side work properly, it'd be just about perfect...

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 That area next to the Hess is called "FIW", fuel, inspect, wash.They don't do any serious repair work there. If a bus has an issue during the day, it goes there first to be inspected. If it's remove and replace of a minor part, it's done there. Otherwise it's sent to the main maintenance facility called "BM South". bus maintenance south.The guys doing the inspecting and refueling are full time mechanics, but the ones doing the cleaning and shuttling of the buses are bus drivers that choose to work at FIW instead of drive.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Maybe it's only funny to me. BM is a bodily function. Remember I have a 1st grader in my home...potty talk is about the only humor I relate to at the moment. Nicki aka Rebelstand 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well my luck finally ran out today. A few months ago, the IMs decided to install video cameras on two buses.I got one of those buses today. The four cameras are there strictly to monitor the driver.I don't know if they're just recording or if there is an IM watching.I hated it. You're expected to do everything perfectly. Imagine being at a job where a mistake could mean injury to people and you're being taped or watched the entire time. Not too much pressure.
