Right after lunch on day 3 of an OJS on a route that I bid blind and was only running for about 10 days, on car sup, (demoted center manager, James D) says" hey I noticed since lunch your moving a little slower, can you step up the pace. now this guy now makes me laugh as this is my 1st stop after lunch, I ask how long he rehearsed that line in his head and then told him to run on ahead and wait for me that I would be along shortly, I now have to walk 100' plus, to use the crosswalk as opposed to jaywalking on a busy 5 lane south Bronx street. " HE WASN'T HAPPY"
