Tonight in the Control Room

So, I walk into the control room after Twi and had this conversation with Rusty, the Mid Control Room Operator:

Me: 'Sup
Rusty: Hey, read this. *hands me a hand-written note*
*note reads: 55 is missing a wheel. 19 cannot be shut off or it will not start up again*
*beat*
*I walk to the radio*
M: Hey, Wyman...
Wyman: 'Sup?
M: Don't turn off your switcher. It seems that it will never ever start up again if you do.
W: Okay..
M: *to Rusty* Anything else?
R: Did you see this about 55?
M: Yeah, I didn't really notice anything wrong with it when I drove it all night.
R: *beat*
M: Which one was it?
R: Uh, driver side front.
M: Yeah, I never use that side of the switcher.

I guess they expected some sort of reaction to the fact that 55 lost a wheel on Day Sort. Before Twi, they were all waiting for me to say or do something. I don't really understand it. I don't drive 55. I don't like 55. It doesn't matter to me if it works or not because we have three other switchers and the weather doesn't require four. I feel like they wanted me to be outraged or to say something hysterical. It turns out that it was due to a wheel bearing failure. These things happen, I suppose. I'm more interested in how many there are to go up, who's running the board, and whether or not there are moves to make in the outbound. Is it just me?
