Default I am lucky to be here today...

I have been working on a pipeline for the last month and a half and last Thursday I was on my way to work and right when we pulled in my boss walked up and said that we need to go home due to the rain (Track Hoes and Loader will just slide all over)... So we head home and here in Park City the snow sticks to the roads and mixed with rain it gets pretty ugly!! Well, I passed a truck and went to get into the right lane when all of the sudden my truck starts to slide... I over corrected and slid off the road... When my truck hit the side of the mountain it flipped 4 times with me and my friend in it... We weren't wearing seatbelts and when we people stopped to help we couldn't get out so a guy gets on top of the truck and somehow manages to lift open the door and we got out... I have a big gash in the forehead and nose, my shoulder was dislocated, and my neck was starting to get stiff... My friends neck was the only thing that started to get stiff also!! Well, The tow truck came and we hopped in with the Highway Patrol and he took us to our houses!! My insurance company called and said that the truck was "TOTALLED"... I just got out of debt $32,000 and I am heart broken... I miss her!! Well, to make things worse my boss calls and asks if the SAW was damaged and didn't even ask me how I was!! So I am done with that job and looking for another one... Thanks for hearing me out guys!!

I'd quit that job too, your boss is obviously a selfish pr*ck.
