[QUOTE="cental34, post: 138277, member: 6675"] So Sunday Sorts started at my hub, and I worked it, deciding I need the extra money. The sort manager placed me in load, although I am an unloader. I can count the number of times I've worked load on one hand. I'm guessing he did this because he knows I'm a hard worker and am good at what I do (unload). Well, I get put in one load, then a couple of minutes later, I'm given the load next door, and a couple of more minutes, a third load. A little into the sort, my first two loads start getting slammed. This pattern continues throughout the sort, and with no sign of a break near, I start experiencing shortness of breath and brief cases of dizziness. I was already developing a cold, but it came to the point where I had to stop. I asked to be sent home, and I was. It's my belief that I experienced a panic attack brought on by the stress of trying to manage 3 loads at once with next to no experience and trying to not let the sort manager down. I know a lot of you will tell me it doesn't matter, and I shouldn't worry so hard about trying to save face, but I can't help it. What a day. </vent> [/QUOTE]
