Sweetie, stop and take a deep breath. You're gonna be fine. Yes you may have to run around (or get the run around) and you'll deal with it if it happens. I know it's easy for me to say, I'm working and you aren't. I'm not trying to discount what you are going thru. I promise. Always remember, we are here for you. There is always someone that is in a worse position than you are.
As far as what happened to Steve, and I would bet that Steve would agree with me on this, let it go. It sucked that it happened, but there is no use in crying over spilled milk (or worrying about it). Chalk it up to a learning experience and let it go. There is not one single person here that will ever forget what happened to Steve and everyone of us learned something from it.
Take a deep breath and think about the good things that you have in your life.
Thanks to everyone for all the concern. I got home from preload and the work comp Dr, got on here a bit and took a long nap. Back to driving in the morning. My ankle is fine right now, but I have a herniated disc in my upper back. I was referred to an Orthopedic Dr. to see what can be done about this. Until this appointment, I'm back to full duty.
I expect that since I've been out, I'll get a safety ride tomorrow, and then be back to normal on Wednesday. I'll keep everyone up to date on the back situation. I should have taken a picture of myself at work this morning. I took it upon myself to clean all of the driver DIAD"s, LOL. Man, were those things filthy.
Hey bib, just like I told you before, no worries, man. I could have just not said anything about what mgmt did, or being hurt, but that's not the way I roll. I want people to know the good and bad that goes on here at UPS. Maybe someone will see this and learn something. Maybe someone will get a laugh out of my antics. One thing for sure, people will know that I'm a real flesh and blood person, that laughs and cries like the rest of us.
This is why I chose and still choose to post under my actual name and picture. The DIAD pictures were an absolute blast, and that's why I think we should continue this idea, maybe with something that isn't as offensive to UPS.
Dilli, that was a great post, and I hope it puts bib's mind at ease. Feel free to ask any questions, as I'll give you the answers, warts and all.
