Awakened @ 5AM by sirens again & again ( Archived) (4)

I live literally a stones throw from a major highway interstate 95 which runs from New England all the way to Florida. All morning I've been hearing emergency vehicles of all kinds going up the road with sirens blaring. Around 9 AM I noticed the traffic was crawling so I took a walk to the overpass to have a look. As far as I could see everybody was just inching along. Then I heard about this on the news.



I got in my truck and turned on the CB radio and got the scoop on what had happened and I spent about 20 minutes giving truckers directions to get around the accident.

Good evening my good friend. It's not just bus companies. There is an extremely wide spectrum of employees branching into all the professions who are relentlessly forced to go beyond safe and prudent boundaries of all types. This, of course, results in accidents, poor health, absenteeism, and low morale. Yet we grow up hearing "haste makes waste", and "quality takes time". However, going out into the work arena, the opposite is expected. People need to work, and right now ANY job is difficult to find. To keep it, you must do what they want, and putting a meal on the table and a roof over your and your family's head is a tough thing to walk out of a job for on "principle". Yet, when push comes to shove, the little guy is the one usually found to blame, and the company continues doing business the way it wants to. It's a terrible trap for folks wanting and knowing how to do right, but times are so terrible. NO one understands this if they don't live it--thank you for this post, it is hopefully beneficial to some.
