Lightest peak season ever

[BlackFriday]

Doesn't every Alaskan citizen get a free government check every year?

I think just the native alaskans. Correct if I'm wrong.

A few commies. Americans love capitalism and the wealth that goes with it.

Look how many left Canada for Buffalo, Detroit, etc, for great jobs.

Cantnadians are the original scabs.

A scab is someone that crosses the picket line taking your job, that’s not what’s happening here UPS hired pvts anticipating a heavy delivery season. Don’t blame the pvts I respect anyone that tries to earn extra and most of the pvt I have seen are retired seniors

I'm sure we can all agree on this.

Well I should have planned better in life instead of working in the union shop and not being a union member
This will all stop in 2023

And you probably weighed 100 pounds less 25 years ago..

Hows peak in your neck of the woods?

 

[Sixth Punch Sense]

The burner accounts have taken over.

Residents get the check. All citizens of Alaska

Shouldn't have gone to feeders.

Next week will mark only 18 months at UPS for me, but I've been driving over 29 years. Only thing I know pretty much.

How do you like it?

 

[Poop Head]

How do you like it?

As much as @Future likes tapioca pudding.

Haha, I talk a lot of trash but I'm about the same weight as when I got out of school. I've been diabetic most of my adult life. So in some ways it was easier establishing healthier eating habits.

It's an easy job. Although some of these hubs are the biggest amateur hour stuff I've seen in a long time. I think that comes from some guys only knowing this as their only driving job. Just sit back and watch. I came for the health insurance mainly and 10-12 years here will be a nice little bump to retirement, hopefully around 60 y/o, possibly 62.

 

[Mr. Marshall]

In what year?

And I already told you where it came from. Try to read. Try to keep up. I know it's taxing.

8.50 starting pay for part-timers in the early 80's is equal to 25 now.

I started at $8 in 1995. Where are you getting $8.50?

Is Bill Cosby serving it?

Habit. I started with a skill bonus of $.50. So that's where it sticks in my mind.

Our skill pay was a $1.00/hr extra.

Interesting.

Some of the most dangerous people on our yard are "Professional" contractors.

Now, as far as UPS feeder people and all the rest....pkg, carwash etc....keep in mind they are being trained by folks who have never done the job....literally. Clerks to ORS.

As far as off the street hires.....their world has very little to do with UPS or how we operate(see above^). Given that, off the street hires bring their same mentality to UPS's operations. This can be good or bad. Some of our highest Circle of Honor folks are some of the most dangerous people on Earth. Above it all mentality and really dangerous driving habits. This is why multi decade folks die behind the wheel way too often......60 year experience sleeper teams for example.

I encourage ANYONE to spend 10 minutes on the yard watching also.....said it many times. Do it in the Hub too. Just 10 minutes.

We had 2 shifters collide the other night.....it was his 4th accident/incident....pulling trailers off doors with people inside etc.
He(was) a union steward and real hothead loud mouth.

That said.....tons of off the street "experience" might or might not mean anything.....years of bad habits and bad attitudes or a fresh look of professionalism. With all respect.

Stupid defines your diatribe.
Get happy, by seeing a therapist.
Ever read the truism, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you".

That tracks. Scabs gonna say scab BS

Type 2 non insulin?

Of course. I actually haven't even taken the metformin I'm prescribed for almost 15 years. My A1C anymore is the very bottom end of pre-diabetic. But through diet and herbal supplements diabetes is controllable most of the time. I only randomly glucose test myself anymore, but I was religious about it for a good while figuring out what foods affected me and how.
