[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 437051, member: 13921"] This past summer, I was in a courthouse making a delivery. I was walking to my next stop (usually have 5-8 stops in the courthouse) and the sheriff and 2 deputies pushed me aside, with their guns drawn, yelling to get down, running as fast as 40+ year old adults run. 20 minutes later, the gunman that took the county board hostage was dead. Right across the hall from the stop that I was walking to. That shook me up. For the rest of the summer, I went to work, did my job, came home and went to bed. I didn't go anywhere on weekends, gave up dirt bikes and camping for the summer. I was so afraid to leave the house on weekends, that I couldn't, I stayed home. The couple of times that I did go places, I had a hard, hard time. I was scared to death. Looking back, it pisses me off that my center manager (I called him while it was happening, as I left me handtruck and a pile of stops when I evac'd), driver supe or even the district manager (he was at our building when I called) told me to go to EAP. No one suggested it (the sheriff dispatcher did, 10 days later.) The people on my route showed more concern than any UPSer. (several strangers said, "I've been praying for you.") Since then, the job stays at the job. When I work, I work, when I am at home, screw work. As soon as my mortgage is paid, I am done. TB [/QUOTE]
