    Seattle - on topic

    Any one hear anything about the north/south center building getting an upgrade/rebuild soon? The new shoreline building across the street is huge and half empty. Meanwhile we have two centers smashed in a smaller, outdated building that is under staffed and can't handle the volume. Thoughts?

    Energy Drinks or nah?

    Okay this is my fourth week at the united parcel service. I'm pretty exhausted after an hour or two and I was wondering if you guys recommend having a monster/redbull/5 hour energy etc?
