Ben is about ready to go home from work. The he gets an urgent message: “Deliver this part to Yucaipa. Urgent.” Ben takes to the road swirving his truck onto the jammed freeway. Ben sits and sits. 30 minutes later Ben arrives at the shop. An employee sees him and then speeds off in a tow-truck. Ben exits his truck, walks up to the shop and opens the door…no wait, the door is locked. Ben pounds on door and waits. …nothing. He calls Ford and there is a slight radio miscommunication that takes place over the course of 15 more minutes. Finally the radio crackles, “well, take the part back. come on back.” Ben drives back behind a load of slow trucks and finally pulls in and deactivates the engine. He hurredly stows his gear and clocks out 40 minutes late. This was a long rough day for Ben, but he is happy. Why is he happy? Because tomorrow is Saturday! And tomorrow, is a day full of freedom, excitement, programming, and adventure. |:-)
