Hello All! well i'm back and with some news. unfortunally its not good but i was a good citizen and someone was saved on my behalf. unfortunally on friday october 17th i had an encounter with a customer. i was sitting by my cluster box takeing my afternoon 10 minunet break when i had someone approach my truck. when i opened my door this gentleman asked me to call 911 for he had been shot! needless to say i was shocked for i have not had any reason to believe that this rotue was in a bad neighborhood. it just goes to show that anything can happen anywhere. well as soon as he told me this, i called 911 and stayed with him till the poliece arrived. unfortunally for me though, it was a cold rainey day and shortly after they got there and the ems took the guy off to the hospital, the cops told me that i was in a crime scene and i had to leave immeately. i couldnt get my mail, truck, purse etc. by the way, i only had 2 cluster boxes left to deliver. about 10 mins left. it was about 4:30 in the afternoon when this happened so after i called 911 and the cops arrived, i then called my supervisor to tell him what was going on. so here i am, sitting in an appartment buildings breezeway freezing my ass off and couldnt go anywhere. i mean dont get me wrong, i understand that no one can be inside a taped in crimescene but i couldnt even get my jackett. oh well. finally after about an hour and questioning, the cops finally let me back to my truck and finish delivering the mail. well thats when my supervisiors finally came out to check on me. mind you, my rotue is about 1.5 miles away from the office. i mean what took them so long? well all i can say is that at least they did come to check on me. also, when i got done, i got back to the office and saw my supervisor and said .. " see, i made it back before 6" yea go me. i saved someones life and still got back before our 6 o'clock window. lol. well here is a link to the shooting on the rotue underneith but i think that the news crew took the photos after i had left so my truck is not there in the middle of the crimescene. at least i can say that i was safe and nothing happened to me. but it didnt bother me though. after 2 years working in the hood and ghetto, it toughned me up. so i was cool with it. well i hope that everyone else had a better work day then i did. i just thought that you all would enjoy a good story where i was a good citizen!!! lol.

Thanks Shannon. So far, everyone has been so kind to me and I am grateful for that as I am kind of an outsider, but very much a "union friendly" outsider.
