Veterans please give me advice

I have preloaded ...it's a very different workout. Both jobs are very strenuous.

Preload might be worse for your back but driving is far worse for most of the rest of your body. Especially knees and legs.

Is there anyway I can get moved off my pull?

Regardless of your replies I appreciate all of them

My knees and ankles felt great. But you have a lot of end range motions that are hard in your lower back. You use different sets of muscles.

At age 24...thats a hard sell.

Maybe, but a paper trail could be useful if this is symptomatic of some worse condition, which is aggravated by his unchanging workload. I think it's a harder sell without a doctor's note, personally. Going to a doctor is what he really needs to do, before anything else.

Do all part timers have jacked up phones?

My phone is on the wall. Works great, even if my cell phone battery is dead.

You have been here two years you have insurance go see a doctor. Ask him if this is an injury that could have occurred over time. If so file an injury report. Don't sweat the warning letter everyone gets them at some point and time.
In the future protect yourself, file an injury report any time you hurt yourself. Even if you think nothing will come of the injury. Cover your A** at UPS. Also remember how understanding the supervisor was in your moment of pain. Remember how willing they were to work with you. They aren't there to be your pal or buddy. Protect yourself

Thank you

I still can't believe that you got dressed, got in your car, drove all the way to work and then decided that you were in too much pain to work.

At the very least you should have gone in and told them what was going on with you.

NC/NS is about the worst thing that you can do.

I thought I was the last person in earth that still had a landline

Yes, but please understand I have extremely high social anxiety

just as others have bad bi-polar or anything else

I love the landline. Crystal clear all the time.

And here we go...

I only got rid of my landline because it cost more than a cell phone.

My daughter still has one but that is only because with their bundle from Verizon it is basically free.

I got rid of mine 5 years or more ago. Best thing I ever did. When I called Verizon the associate agreed that I rarely used it and that dropping it was a good idea.

If you can't deal with that, you definitely need thicker skin.

We work for Big Brown. Who cares about cost?

Same here. My wife still wants a landline...who am I to argue?

 

[Cementups]

What do I do in the meantime with this pain though? I dont want to screw my pull up enough to get moved as over my drivers IS THE LAST THING I want to do. They're good people and work hard.

Take Aleve before your shift, see a chiropractor regularly and if you can, see a good sports massage therapist. As a long sufferer, I live by this.

 

[Wally]

Hot tub. Does wonders for the back.
