School is Back in Sort Of

Yes I am Angry Cat right now.

Yesterday the bus did not come for my kids.

Today the bus did not come for my kids.

Yesterday I was told their bus (A-10) was broken down and another (A-27) should have picked them up. It’s supposed to come at 8:17am, we were there from 8am until 9am, school starts at 9:05am. They said I must have missed it somehow yesterday, but no it did not come, I looked at every bus. Besides that, how was I supposed to know to look for the A-27, when we told the A-10 was picking them up. How was I supposed to know they switched busses unless they tell me?! My mind reading or telepathy does not work that well as I’ve aged as I must have missed the telepathic message about the bus change.

They told me that today the A-27 would come to pick them up, it did not again. They said the A-10 would be out of service until Wednesday or Thursday and we’ll get the A-27. Today I called the school to find out what’s going on a about 9am, they said the A-10 was sitting in front of the school. ?! 

It did not come past me, I looked at every single bus number going both ways on the street, the A-27 or A-10 did not come past us.

They assured me yesterday that my kids would be picked up today, they were not. They assured me today that my kids would get picked up tomorrow, I guess we’ll wait and see won’t we?!

Yes, I am Angry Cat right now….

New review by me!

"Today for review I’ve got the latest backpack from Ogio called the Gambit 17 which should fit most laptops up to 15 inches in size. The Gambit is what I would consider a guys style backpack as it just looks rugged and the black and red color scheme just works well. The Gambit 17 has plenty of features and of course many pockets for all of your stuff including places for your laptop and a special pocket for your tablet and even, my favorite, a built-in hard case for your sunglasses! So read on to learn more…"

Another review by me…

Quote: "Back to school next week for my kids, I think of lot of kids are back in school or are heading off shortly and the backpack is, I think, like a symbol of school. Most every kid or adult going to school has a backpack and having kids I know all backpacks are not created equal. My kids are getting older, but I still have a rather young one at eight years old and I found those ‘character’ style packs aren’t exactly the best quality. As we get older we learn to appreciate quality made products and I think going off to college you need something that will last though the year or even years to come. College isn’t like grade school, I know my kids seem to need or want a new bag every year, but college is different, you’re older and grown up so you don’t need a new bag every year anymore, you want one that will last through college and past hopefully. You need a bag like what I have for review today from ECBC, it’s called the Hercules and it’s aptly named as it can hold up to a 17” laptop but it’s got a whole lot of room for everything else you’ll need to take with you and it’s very well made. Quality comes at price though, this backpack will set you back about $140, but I think it’s money well spent as it will surely last for several years I would think… So read on to learn more about the Hercules… "

"Yep we’re still on the back to school theme this week, but today I don’t have another bag for review I’ve got a portable speaker that would be great for a college dorm or great for any use really. The product is from Bēm Wireless and it’s just plainly named the Mobile Speaker. Yes no fancy or cute name, just Mobile Speaker and that’s exactly what it is. The Mobile Speaker is small and portable with a built-in battery that should last about six hours and it has Bluetooth for wireless audio and it even has a 3.5mm audio port so you can use it with devices that don’t have Bluetooth capability. That’s not all though, the speaker has a 3.5mm auxiliary out port too which allows you to connect another non-Bluetooth speaker to it and turn it into a wireless speaker. So it’s more than just a little speaker, read on to learn more…"

New review by me of an awesome backpack…

"Keeping with the back-to-school theme this week I’ve got another backpack for review today, this one is from Booq and it’s called the Boa Squeeze. Booq names their bags after snakes and this one is named after the Boa Constrictor obviously, but why? I think it’s because this bag is small but yet you can fit a lot of stuff in it, kind of like a Boa, it can eat things much larger than itself, it’s thin but much larger things can go in it. I don’t know if that’s true, just my thoughts on it. Anyway, the Boa Squeeze is a smaller style laptop backpack and by looking at it you wouldn’t think it would hold much but it’s deceiving in its design as you can fit up to a 15” laptop in it and a lot of other stuff like books and more for your school day. The bag is made from from polyester and nylon that is water repelling so you can take it out in most any weather and not have to worry about your things getting ruined. The Boa Squeeze is a high quality bag in my opinion so read on to learn more about it…"
