[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1182211, member: 14668"] 26 yrs of doing this job with the last 18 being in the same delivery area have shown me that kharma is a real thing. I cant count the number of times that I may have taken an extra minute or two here and there to do the "right thing", only to have my actions rewarded tenfold. I once spent about 10 minutes of company time "delivering" a dog that I found running loose back to its home; 4 years later its owner passed me on the road one night when I was stuck in the snow and pulled me out with his 4x4, saving the company hundreds of dollars in tow bills and lost time. Another time I was delivering to a house, heard a "pop" and noticed water starting to flow out from under his RV due to a frozen/broken water supply hose. I took a minute to jog back to the house and shut the water off at the spigot, which saved the carpeting and interior of the RV from damage and prevented his driveway from becoming a lake of ice. This person lives in a hilly, gated community and a few years later on a snowy day during peak he met me at the bottom of the driveway in his 4x4 to take not only his packages but those for about 5 of his neighbors whose driveways I couldnt make it up. He signed for them all and drove around and delivered them to his neighbors which saved me a huge amount of time having to chain up. Kharma is real. It follows its own time line not ours, it may be years before your positive actions are "rewarded", and you may never even be conciously aware of the exact time or manner that it happens, but it does happen.
