[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 558042"] Ok, this is a long story but kind of a funny, good one where nothing goes right. I'm on my usual route on Thurs (Canada day was Wed, holiday here so double dump from you Americans!). I show up to work and 5min before I left the building the spring broke for my back door (It's a 1000 and those doors are HEAVY). Well, I'm NOT about to crossload almost 300pkgs so I said screw it told my sup and went on my way. Threw my back out at around 1030 (well, back spasms). Just got back onroad too since had'em at beginning of June, ick! Airmeet at around 1115. Got around another 30 stops with about 15 airstops ontop of the 6 I couldn't deliver because the mall in the area doesn't open until 1130. 1130 I start delivering the air...HORAY! Around 10 pieces of late noon! Finished around 1900 though. I think the total was around 125 stops with 450pkgs. Oh, this is the best part where it shows my depot manager really is insane. Since the back was a reacurring injury that WCB (workers comp) wouldn't cover there was 0 point in reporting it so thought I'd call in Friday and be better by Mon. I had informed a sup all about it and he agreed there was no damn point and just a waste of time. Anyways, we had a parade here so half our depot books off 'sick' (slackers). I get a call by my sup (nice guy) asking me to pleaaaaaase come in and just run some light stuff. I told'em I was hurt but would do what I could. I show up and my arse of a depot manager corners me and says, 'why aren't you on you car?!' I told'em my back was sore again (hurts to check blind spots, so real safe to be on road). I'm asked if I had a doctors note. I told'em no. Then I get a, *angry sigh* 'I'm tired of you self diagnosing, you're not a doctor!' Well, no but I JUST got back from the injury that feels the EXACT same as about a month ago, duh, not rocket science. I'm told I need to fill out a massive pile of paperwork, blah blah blah. Also told, 'I don't have time to argue with you ~I~ need to go onroad since certain drivers decided to call in today' *glares at me* Funny thing, he's on vacation for 2 weeks and my sups (who have a brain) said don't worry about it since I'm not seeing a doctor anyways and WCB wouldn't cover anything there's no point. What a freaking maroon. I know, when he lectured me about seeing a doctor I should've turned around and told'em I was going immediately to see one and leave'em high and dry :D I was so shocked and peeved that it didn't cross my mind until later though. What makes it funnier is that the last time I got hurt (shoudler injury) he was the knob that was leaning hard on me NOT to go to a doctor. I'm constantly told (and all other drivers) that report a injury to please not see a doctor.

Hmm, so try to do what he asks and try to do what he asks and both are wrong? I'm so confused :( What do you think? Multiple personality disorder where both of his personalities are an arse? Last time I ever help UPS out, that's for sure. [/QUOTE]
