14. I drove into a mess in 95

I was unaware that the company I was picking up from was in a strike.
I couldnt turn around, I couldnt back up.
I went in and got shot at.
That was IT, I told my company that I would NEVER cross a line.
Not only because it was the right thing, but dang, bullets sting
They sent me (again, damnit) to a auto plant, the union hall was right across the street.
The gate had 2-300 folks in front. I left.
I threatened to quit, I dropped the trailer in a yard somewhere and never had that problem again.

I wont cross a line, at work or on my own time.
