I recall one day I was pushing it a bit going to work (Detroit Freeway Post, dispatcher) and as I was one of the faster cars on the freeway a patrol car went past me.
Well when we all arrived in the locker room he mentioned something to me about being the fastest car (Save him) on the freeway... He said it did not look good.
I told him what looked worse was him passing me while I was the 2nd fastest car on the freeway.. He agreed, but said what looked even worse than that was the Stroh's truck passing HIM as he was passing Me while I was the 2nd fastest car on the freeway.
Which is why the Semi Driver got the ticket.
I have to say I liked that job, It got a bit worse when we centerlized in some ways and better in others.
But then the cliques and the bull droppings started and there was a mis-guided attempt to get me fired which backfired and got the conspirators 30 days no pay,, And I became eligable for early retirement and booked.. (Quit while the quitting was profitable).
But there were some darn good days there... And more than a few folks who truly wish I had not been there... But then.. Those folks all have something in common "Clients of the Department of Corrections" (IN Prison).
