[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 846352, member: 9500"] 1. It seems to me you were courteous at the start of your phone call. 2. You don't state if you have are mechanically inclined, but your response to MWSDPG is either showing you aren't or put into simple terms because she isn't or you reasonably assumed she wasn't. 3. Supervisor X showed you disrespect by issuing orders through an intermediary. This is often done at to later create doubt as to what the actual order was and whether it was transmitted correctly. I think you responded correctly. 4. Contractually, you are only required to "change tires to keep rolling" (but it has been so long since I've seen a spare tire in a package car, much less a jack). This is a reasonable duty, as everyone should know how and be able to change a flat tire. However, it obviously wouldn't have solved your problem (but hey, something to do during the down time). 5. It was unreasonable, disrespectful, and a violation of the contract for the Sup to direct you to take lunch. He should have started by asking, but you would have been more than reasonable to refuse knowing you had a long day ahead of you and would need the time to recharge later. Much like drivers who delayed their meal till the end of the day, taking it too early would cause your performance to suffer. By performing at your stated 16.9 you proved this was a wise course of action. 6. It would have been reasonable to go through your load during the downtime and set everything up in sequence as best you could. I'm sure you did as it's a natural driver inclination. 7. The mechanic tried to teach you a lesson and you took it in stride and the joke was on him. This shows me that your attitude wasn't the problem as you didn't try to pick a fight with the mechanic. He will have enough to answer for about the road call, especially if it's one of his cars. 8. After getting back on the road, you didn't let it get to you, didn't cry for help, and pumped it out at a reasonable pace. Good show! It seems to me you have the right attitude to deal with the "new UPS" and make it to retirement. I hope it's catching Next time call collect. [/QUOTE]
