This morning on the way to work the head gaskets on the truck went out while I was on the inter state. I pulled off and tried to call Katie, she did not hear her phone so I called one of my co workers who lives out close to where the truck made it to.He was just getting on the interstate so he said he would stop and pick me up. Made it to work, and shortly after starting time my boss started harassing me about leaving after only working 9 hours yesterday. Now overtime is not posted as being mandatory, but because I am working on a prototype machine that is goingto a trade show over seas I am expected to work 10 hour days until it is finished. The reason I left after 9 hours yesterday is we had found a problem, and were waiting on the engineer to come out and tell us how he wanted us to work around it, the engineer did not show up until 4:15 which is 15 minutes before I would have been leaving if I had stayed, which means I would have been sitting there for 45 minutes with nothing to do. But according to my supervisor I "abondened the job". Long story short, I got written up. After working 10 hours I got a ride back to the truck and was able to get the truck 7 miles closer to the house. So now I have to get the truck towed home tomorrow, and then I get to figure out what is going on with it. I hope it is just head gaskets, and not a cracked head or block.
