[QUOTE="Marne Vet, post: 1249594, member: 51053"] There were a lot of upset senior drivers that volunteered the other day, that came in expecting to work their areas only to find out we were stuck on zips we weren't accustomed too. I had one myself. Hadn't been in this area in 11-12 years, so I did what I would do any time I had stuff I wasn't familiar with. I separated the work on the shelfs. Moved the stuff I did know to one side, and sorted it the best I could. Moved everything else to the other side. Took a count of my NDA's, and then started running the area I didn't know first. It's amazing what Google Maps on an iPhone can do for ya when you run your earpiece up through your shirt. Turn by turn navigation to get me to a street, bust out that street, and repeat if necessary. Kept an eye on the time for my airs, and half of them came off in the area I was unfamiliar with. Once that junk was completed all I had left was the stuff I knew. Ran the rest of my NDA's off, then finished the day. One stop at a time. The point of the story is that I didn't lose my mind over what they gave me. I stayed as calm as could be. I knew it would come off even if I had to use my phone for every address. I don't care about their times, and their stupid numbers. That's their game to play, not mine. I worried about it during my 30 day rookie inauguration. Now all I care about is getting done, whenever it is, and being safe doing it. Speed isn't a concern of mine, or if I'm out so late they have to send the Cavalry. If [they] make the decision to bury you in an area you have no knowledge on, then [they] should be prepared for the consequences. :) [/QUOTE]
