[QUOTE="Magnus, post: 791131, member: 22193"] 1. I have had unavoidable incidents doing this job where I COULD have filed for "free money" to sit on my ass and recuperate on UPS's dime (like most of today's generation would), but I have an old-school work ethic of "don't :censored: where you eat". If I get injurued on the job (and I have once), I deal with it MYSELF with MY money - period. So don't ever speak down to me about risking UPS's money again. It never happened even when it could have. 2. I didn't care about paying for that great day of service with more pain when I'd be feeling it the next day, which happened to fall on a Saturday, meaning I had that day and all of Sunday to "lick my wounds" so to speak. That's what I meant, nothing else. Again, we're broaching on "old-school" work ethic here. 3. Nope, wasn't "friend-ed up". I wasn't injured, just in pain from doing the job at 110% as I always do. I'm sure you've experienced what I'm talking about. The difference is, I decided to take care of it so it wouldn't be a problem or negatively impact my performance or piss my Driver off. I don't see the problem here, I cleared it with my Driver first. If he'd have said "no", or if we Helpers had to drive the PC's at all, then this obviously would have played out differently - but neither was the case. As I have also already said, "narcotics" at insignificant dosages don't impair me at all. It's one of those "medications affect everyone differently" clauses. I just happen to be one of the lucky folks that can take them without any adverse affects with the nasty side effects of impaired judgment or being "under the influence". Just how my own personal biochemistry handles them. Fact is, doing this job while sick with a cold/flu on diphenhydramine (cough syrup or other OTC medications for the same) is much more risky than taking an insignificantly small amount of LEGALLY PRESCRIBED hydrocodone that doesn't negatively affect certain individuals (like myself) to take a bite out of the pain. So what's the problem? [/QUOTE]
