Well, this one is interesting. What would I have done.......in my job, I don't often work nights anymore, but on occasion, I do pull an all-nighter (ususally after already putting in a full day ie. 22-24 hour day).
So, I go home to get some much needed beauty sleep, and I am awakened to pull some young buck out of the mud. Kid takes a bit of a 'tude with me, but not before I question his common sense to his face. A kid with either very little experience or very little common sense being called out to his face about his "mistake" embarrasing him in the process. Not sure the kid got up that morning and said, "I think I'll stick my truck today". ON the other hand, when someone is going to help you, one should be a bit meek and respectful. Seems to be a "wash" here from a who's zooming who.
Well, more than once I have backed back down a road that I deemed wasn't passable. On the other hand, I have also made it through some "sticky" situations. and yes, I have been stuck a few times. I am 50 years young, so "been there, dun that" is my current montra......and yet I am still learning and admit it freely. One thing I have learned in 50 years is when to admit I am wrong and learn from it.
I probably would have pulled the kid out depending upon just how much of a 'tude he actually took with me. At the end after pulling him out, I also probably would have asked him if he had learned anything. If he gave me more crap, each Fedex truck has a number on it to report issues. Wouldn't have taken too much effort to file a complaint with Fedex on their driver's behavior, and send them a bill for pulling the truck out.
Lastly, I have a good relationship with the local police, and often have had coffee with them on Sat mornings to listen to stories about the idiots they deal with on a daily/weekly basis. I have a lot of respect for them after hearing the crap they have to put up with. I also know 1-2 young 'uns on the force that are no better than the idiots they are arresting, the only difference is, they are wearing the badge.
so, now that things have been put into perspective, what do you think?

Today's Featured Article - Picking Corn - by Rick Nikolich. It was the day before Christmas shutdown at work and I asked our lead engineering expert Scott Andrzejewski what he was going to do over the holidays. He said that he had some corn that he still needed to pick with an antique one-row New Idea corn picker. Scott has a nice farm about an hour north of Lansing in St. Johns, MI. He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
