[QUOTE="SnowySeattle, post: 460774, member: 20285"] Great analogy except...most people would have called a plumber. Where/Whom was/is UPS's plumber. IE's plan apparently was in their other tool box. The Seattle transportation department couldn't find their tool box and when they did it was only full of sand. The water in the sink represents the first packages in (pre-Christmas volume). The water in the various containers represents newer volume (post-Christmas). I as UPS can claim weather related reasons for not delivering your pre-Christmas packages(during snow event) without delivering but I don't think I can do that with the post snow event packages. So I take all the water out of the sink and put it in buckets out in the yard, fix the clog, and then start to pour the volume from the newer containers down the drain first. As I think I can, I send someone out to the backyard to grab a bucket of old sink water and mix some of it in. I am careful not to add to much of the old sink water in with the newest water and overflow the sink. The newest water is more important to me. IE didn't get their volume measurement memo about only having a 10 gallon sink because they thought they could put 20 gallons in it. The missing memo was the apparent reason the sink clogged in the first place. So my question is "Did the pre-Christmas volume take a back-seat to the new volume so as not to have to pay for service failures?" [/QUOTE]
