Describe the feeling you have Sunday night about how you feel regarding the ups work week ahead.

Glad I have the opportunity to go out and make 2200 any week I want. Happy to know that because of this I can give my children the tools I never had. I was in a vocational program in high school and my teacher mr. Ventura got me a job here half way through my senior year. I think about him and when I say my prayers every morning. He helped me get this job the put things in place for me to pay it forward and make a better life for my future family that I never had. God bless mr Ventura. He's always in my prayers.

I'm actually glad to have a job I don't dread come Sunday night (and dare I say look forward to sometimes). My last job gave me stomach ulcers thinking about it all weekend, so it's a nice change. The weather forecast for the week is usually the biggest factor in how I feel Sunday night.

I don't mind it. Best job I've ever had.

I try to think positively, anyway.

Agreed. I'm happy to wake up on Monday and have a job to go to with decent pay and benefits knowing what I am doing today will benefit my family and I in the future.

I do not want to wake up on Monday with my only options being looking for a job or sitting at home wishing I had a job.

Sunday night I review my 10 seeing habits, and the rules for backing and lifting and lowering, I have them on homemade flash cards to quiz myself before work. I gather together my pens, delivery notes, and fresh healthy snacks, and then set out my uniform and shine my shoes. I then review in my mind any send agains I may have had from Friday. I review the CODs that were not delivered Friday and fill out delivery notes ahead of time, just in case. I do the stretching exercises from the UPS poster I photo-copied and brought home. I then write down the Monday known closed businesses like hair salons, so I can pull them from my load before my start time Monday. I give my pre-loader a phone call before I head in on Monday to ask which stops are heavy so I can start planning my day early. I arrive at work an hour early so I can set up my car stop for stop and talk the supervisor into giving my worst stops to the route next to me. I then call all my COD stops so they have their checks ready when I get there. Finally I stare at the ORION trace monitor so I can figure out how to run the route at 85% and still clock out super early, skipping all my lunch...and then I punch in....NOT

Have you been talking to upstate about his Sunday pre work routine again....

There is an IE guy in a cubicle someplace who is pleasuring himself while reading this.

Is that someplace in NY?

Ready for Friday already. Good gosh.

 

[olroadbeech]

"! I need a bid route"

When I was a cover guy I remember wishing I knew what route I was doing before I went in to work. In retrospect I'm not sure why I cared because knowing wasn't going to change anything.

 

[brostalss]

I get paid to drive around all day. Company clothes and company car. Easy money.

Seasonal driver helper here. Got called into work this afternoon after being off since Christmas Eve. It must be busy. And the driver I'm with is mostly residential. Glad to have the extra work.

 

[Brownslave688]

I rarely dread work on Monday. It is what it is. As long as I didn't make a weekend trip and get back late Sunday I am good to go.

I got the rest of the week off...it's a good feeling. See ya Monday, brown!
