A Frightening Thought

I have to start by apologizing here this one will have no pictures. There is no brightening up this story. I need to put it down exactly as it should be without any pictures...my sincerest apologies. While listening to my favorite radio morning show on the way to work yesterday this is the story I heard:

We get into the study on people getting high at work. Buckethead wonders what athletes or high profile jobs are doing their thing high. Rockin Granny says she can’t sit at a desk doing medical records for 9 hours without smoking out. Rich is a paramedic that smokes, Derek does government contracts, “Anonymous” is a surgical assistant and has assisted in major surgeries while high. Jesus! Another “Anonymous is a skydiving instructor that gets really high, Mike is a truck driver, and “Anonymous” is in the HR department for a security company who drug tests their employees. Ironic, huh? Lance calls in and is pissed that we are promoting this. Bucket explains that we are not encouraging people to get high and do their jobs, but bringing awareness to the people that you trust with major things who are stoned at work. “Anonymous” installs safety railings in high-rise buildings while baked. Jay, the ass-jack school bus driver admits that he has done pot, coke and acid and driven kids to school the next day still messed up. Bucket draws the line here and reams him for endangering the lives of lots of kids. He decides that Jay wont give up the drugs so either he willingly quits his job, and we will even help him find a new one and get him into rehab if he wants, or we will call him out. He says he will quit. Good choice.

Jarhead Ed says that driving stoned is a lot better than driving drunk. Now we are just splitting hairs. Megan sent an email wondering why we ripped into the school bus driver so much and not the paramedic. Bucket says a line was crossed. We were bringing attention to these people that you wouldn’t expect to be messed up while doing their jobs, but driving a bunch of kids around under the influence is absolutely unacceptable. - http://www.thebucketheadshow.com/

I wasn't upset they were doing the segment I want to know who does this, I think we should all know. What I don't get is why aren't these places randomly drug testing. A bus driver should have to submit to random unannounced drug testing. I think that the host handled this one properly in saying this has gone too far. This has to come to an end. I would like to update you also with what I heard this morning. Jay the bus driver called back in, the host gave him an ultimatum: Quit by the end of the day or I will call the county in which you work for and tell them. Good Call!! The host also said they were bombarded by emails and phone calls...they even had a news station trying to get his information. He said that so far he has kept the guy's privacy but that will only last until 5:00 tonight. It will be interesting to see how this one ends. Needless to say I will be driving my son to school each day. No way will I put him on a bus system that doesn't even test their drivers. Bad call on the part of the school district here!
