Subject: Re: Thursday Chat 03.12.15 by TommyT-Bone on 2015/3/12 15:44:03 Speaking of driving errors, I was driving to a job and I went into auto pilot mid trip and got on the turnpike by mistake. I was already running late because we had to stop by the crew chiefs apartment because he forgot his phone. That kicked off a negative chain of events and backed me up 15 minutes. From there on it was all downhill. As soon as I got on the highway it slowed to a crawl. Worse than a crawl. Stop and go on a 65 mph roadway. Took me about a half hour to go 2 1/2 miles. The road I exited on was backed up and I was catching every light. Next I got caught behind a concrete truck in a residential area with nowhere to pass. Painfully slow progress. I got to the jobsite almost an hour after Sue had arrived with the crew. Fortunately they had tools and could start but she was not happy none the less. She laid down the required matronly guilt trip and said "What if this had been on another job?" That should keep me straight and more alert for awhile when driving to a jobsite. One wrong turn. That's all it took. One wrong turn. On top of that, instead of getting home by 10:00 I got home at 11:00. Thinking of starting the day over again by jumping back into bed for an hour. Seems like the only logical approach. |
