saturday at ups

[JoesUPSacct]

show up on saturday and given a new route in a city you've never been to before...

then notice you're dispatch is only 88 stops/145 pkgs...

but of course it's ups, and all drivers at the center are leaving with 3 pages of printed notes, no EDD, no gps and you have to override and type in the address for each stop...

Funny when you see all of the parents cars lined up around the block to take their tykes home that live a few blocks away. When I was a kid the cut off was 2 miles for a bus pass and the rest of us walked or rode our bicycles. I used to ride a bike to school up until the 9th grade. Had to get home in time to see the end of Dark Shadows. The snow did slow me down but I could not imagine what my parents would say if I asked (demanded) a ride home.

You also grew up when having more than one car was extremely rare.

No we always had a family car and my dad drove an old Studebaker pick up truck to work. Union truck driver so we could afford 2 vehicles. Also that way you had a spare to get parts when one of them broke down. I still follow that lesson.

Same story here, and I was born in '88. When the elementary school at the front of my neighborhood starts or finishes for the day, cars on both sides of the road turn a major roadway into a single lane for about a mile. Some of the kids that get picked up live less than a football field away from the school's main entrance (I only know because I've peeped game after getting stuck in that mess.)

When I was growing up, my parents only picked me up from school once. A single time. And that day? 9/11. (This doesn't include suspension/expulsion, though. Numbers'd be a bit higher if I added those in.)

i was born in the 60's, i was in high school in the 80's and we still had gun racks with a shotgun and/or rifle in the back window of our pickup truck

9/11.

9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB!

I can count on 2 hands how many times i got a ride to school.

I got smoked hard by a car, while biking to school freshman year of highschool (people thought i was dead). Long story short, my mom chewed me out on the phone, when the hospital called her at work. She made the cops take me to school after i was all wrapped up at the hospital. Then, hobbled the 2.5 miles home. Now that was parenting!
