[QUOTE="Cementups, post: 1354967, member: 8590"] Many years ago I was running "junk" in the morning and then would go back and grab a moose (van) and go about and do some bigger bulk pickups. One day I got back into the hub before picking up the moose and my on-car says he needs me to run such-and-such. I said, no can do, I'm gong to lunch. He grunts but says, fine but hurry back I have something else for you to do before your pickups. Soooooo... I go to lunch. Take my full hour. After eating a nice hearty meal I am dead beat tired. Like falling asleep at the table tired. So, my hour is up and I go out to the UPS minivan I was driving and decide I need a nap. I drive around the corner and park the minivan under a big bridge in a depleted area, set my alarm on my phone and lay in the back and close my eyes. About a half hour later I woke up and drove back to the building to pickup the moose. I get into the office and my on-car flips $h!t on me and asks me where I was. I told him to calm down that I took a nap after my hour lunch. Not happy with me at all. I told him I coded all 1.5 hours out as lunch and I'm sorry but I figured I had two options here.......take the nap and be ok for the rest of the day or come back and get behind the wheel of a very large vehicle and drift off to sleep and potentially injure/kill someone and/or myself. He gave me a "huffing jesus" and told me not to make a habit of it but I did the right thing. Safety first. [/QUOTE]
