I suspect you originally typed "anal", then had to make the quick edit.

Damn feels just like yesterday when we were hearing of the jump to Car Sales then the weight loss. You might be single-handedly keeping the RS forum alive with your major life events

Badhobz 11-06-2025 11:25 AM

to make $100k a year driving da bus, he needs to grind OT and shit, and he already said He ain't about that life. So he'll most likely be taking home approx $80k before tax a year without OT at max rate (which is 24months from now)

Badhobz 11-06-2025 11:27 AM

oh thats not so bad! 80k you can feed a family of 4..... i think?

He living life like the car sales day still. Bought a brand new watch just for our pre-tripping the bus. We need to do a brake hold test for 1minute. Most of us Bus Operator, we don't even wear a watch no more, we just use the Tmac screen to count 1 minute. Mr. Dark here living ballllllling!

Badhobz 11-06-2025 11:35 AM

it was brand new citizens watch. not balling balling watch, but balling for driving a bus. LOL I use my phone, or the tmac screen. I can't afford going out there buying a watch just for the 1minute pre-tripping buses. LOL


I can barely feed myself and my family and my pets.

SSM_DC5 11-06-2025 11:48 AM

Hc is next for the soap opera. His 95k income isn't enough, yet he's got 2 cars that are no where near being old and FIVE pets! Time to give away the pets to hobz and change to 10+ year old cars to stretch that 95k

Traum 11-06-2025 12:39 PM

Funny how FB has just fed me this post after I read through some posts here:

headhunt3r 11-07-2025 11:24 AM

the day a union allows unpaid OT, pigs will fly.

Congrats dark!! I missed this thread the entire time oops.
Thank you for helping my friends out with their car before you left though! I thought i might bump into you at a Noob Meet but still haven’t
Welcome Aboard! I’ll keep an eye out for your grad class on SharePoint
TBH i wanted to be a conventional operator since high school (i still wanna drive buses HAHA) but now that i’m in my current position, it doesn’t make sense for me to go that route. Maybe you’ll be one of the bus bridges for us when our trains break down :lol:
