Part Timers, Heat, Hydration, and Bathroom Breaks

[burrheadd]

Dehydration is no joke. In the winter they blast the heating and it all rises into the grid and cooks you. one time in February I went completely blind for over a minute and I thought I was gonna die. I notified my supervisor and he told me to “walk it off”

Should have listened to your mom
Had nothing to do with boxes Had everything to do with abusing yourself as a young man

I feel this today. Last night had to work dumping pallet after pallet in the South Florida summer heat and humidity. Was on the second floor too which is significancy hotter than ground level. No joke it must have been over 100 degrees. I felt like a snowman melting. Why can’t we have AC again?

A few years ago a janitor died in our building from heat stroke. Just passed out on a belt and never woke up again, didn’t get discovered until the next shift. I remember him on nights like these

The Local 676 contract DOES say that full-timers get one 10-minute unpaid break, but dude, if you gotta go you gotta go, ask the sup how many times he takes a piss during his shift and wait until he never gets back to you on that one. One of your PT sups should be out there handing out bottles of water every once in a while if your hub has them, and if not, it shouldn't matter how many water breaks you need, management literally recommends at least 2 bottles per hour.

I have noticed that in this hot weather I sweat out way more than I piss.

Nah I enjoy the pain like any good UPSer

Absolutely. In the dead of summer In package I’d drink 8-10 16oz waters every day. Broke off to pee once or twice. In the winter I would drink less than half and would break off at least 5 times.

Huh yeah I haven't taken a pee break in a while. Guess I'm peeing out my pores onto the boxes.
