Driver Mess-Ups, Friday, 4 December 2009

Today the driver was not there when we went to go home. We went inside to ask about him. It turns out that the two Filipino teachers who work on the Turkish side of the school had gotten out there earlier than us, and he had left with them.

I waited for him to return in the teachers' lounge, with the other two Filipino teachers. They had been waiting on the first two! They hadn't known that they had already left. Well, I said, there will be room enough for you two now, so get ready to go.

Luckily, they didn't. Just then my phone rang. It was Valerie. The driver had turned around with the two teachers still in the car!!! He would come back later for the other two teachers.

Valerie, Sophia and I got in the car.

Apparently, these two teachers had gotten out first, and so he had started off with them. Then the vice principal called, told him that Sophia and I were still at the school, and rather than first drop off those two teachers, he turned around. We're guessing that the emphasis is placed on Sophia--she's a child, she shouldn't have to wait, especially in the cold.

Still, it's pretty silly. He could have just dropped off the first two! We/they don't live that far away!
