Bad Bus Driver
Bad Bus Driver is a podcast written, produced and narrated by Alexandra Concentric--a displaced, rebellious, school bus driver and salvage artist living in Colorado. It's not all about bus driving! More about the short time in life when we are allowed to be kids and why opening a door to the endless cycle of hundreds of them waiting out at the curb--is many things, and maybe even inspiring. Because if it wasn't--Alexandra would have gone back to Florida by now! Bad Bus Driver is about finding that extra stuff that makes our lives work. Alexandra might want to be back in her hometown of West Palm Beach, but she also wants to be a creative and comedic voice of the working class. A unique podcast full of the sounds of a life that moves people. And many tunes--Because all drivers need their Jams.

When COVID came to town--Did we have any idea?
If I remember right--the theme for that month was Challenge.
Driving distractions include a financially struggling school district, the typical school bus training, how our work works, and doesn't work, for us and... well...
You know it. Just the begining of what will be a huge challenge.
This short little message (not an Episode) will introduce, my one and only quarantine buddy, Andrew.
It also includes a possible spoiler alert for the movie Uncut Gems.

"It never occurred to me..."
When bad bus driver, Alexandra Concentric, is assigned to a new alternative COVID job, she expects to manage that all...well...just as badly as anything else.
But there is more time to think in these pandemic days, face ourselves, our faults and those thoughts we might have ignored--and when we need to--find ways to say good-bye.
And that is what this episode is about. How we move on when we are...
And maybe not a clue.
(Living and losing in a long term pandemic)
I'm sure... I'm never going to get used to these pencil-throwing, water spilling, candy throwing new kids I've got. But, as usual, the bus is just the setting. There is always more going on.
Like that time I had a baby.
Driving distractions include...a hospital stay, telephones and newborns, strangers and telephone booths, and a little bit of Aspergers.
Thank you for listening.
Alex
These kids are speaking and debating for hours! And that's fine with me.

When are things going to be normal again?
Well, whatever normal is-- in a bus full of Middle School kids.
Driving distractions include Fortnite, landfills, holiday inflatables, masks, rainbows, windstorms, and...
How long does it take to do a seating chart anyway?2021-2022 has been a long school year. There is no point in talking about it...
We all wouldn't know where to start.
There are...
15 more days of school in this COVID school year podcast countdown.
Driving distractions include questions, crushes and the things kids should know, but don't.
Unless we tell them.
There are 12 more days of school... Driving distractions include weed, skating in the dark... And everything else everyone might plan to do this summer.
Oh, and there's roadkill.
There are 10 more days of school. There is also...still...COVID.
COVID distractions include people with signs, people with yard signs, people who don't know how to communicate.
Or even a week.
A week would have been just fine.

And,
Sometimes,
This can be,
The best job in the world.
