Welcome to Stupid Saturday

[Ghost in the Darkness]

If it's yellow, let it mellow.

If its red, stay in bed.

If its red, stay in bed.

If it's red don't say a word until your finished.

Yep. Amazon's "Buy by" day is Thursday for Saturday delivery with free 2 day Prime member shipping. Postal service isn't swallowing it all. We're on for sure.

Unless it's 2 day Saturday, that would be delivered Tuesday

 

[hellfire]

Won't go in today, Saturday, went in last Saturday, ALOT of us did, our reward was seasonal drivers getting sent home and routes being cut on Monday because volume was down. Amazed they asked us again.

 

[Richard Harrow]

You guys enjoy. I'll be watching soccer and tinkering with my Christmas gift from the wife and kids.

 

[Indecisi0n]

We have snow so that means I'll get 5 hrs at time and a half to deliver about 30 stops. Word !

 

[Ghost in the Darkness]

You got it, 5 hrs of driving extra cautiously and walking everything off all while still leaving 4+ hours of OT for Monday sounds good to me.

 

[The Driver]

Would have worked today but only had a few hours left. Guess I'll see everyone Monday.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

What do you do if it want go down

Call the guy?

They asked me yesterday to come in at 11am and work the remaining hours I have left. We are understaffed this year so many are already out of hours by yesterday afternoon. Would have considered it if not for the late start which would ruin my whole day so I passed. I'm not coming in for 3hrs it's a waste of time, esp with the 6" of snow that fell overnight. The streets won't be plowed till at least Sunday and freezing rain is coming this afternoon. I need a couple days to rest before I put in max hours in next week by Friday, there's no way I'll have hours available by Xmas eve. Thank god this is my last peak.

We have a 9:30 start and I plan on working as long as needed.

We were told yesterday that we should expect to work CE.

And do you always do what you are told?

 

[watdaflock?]

They asked for volunteers. No way I was going to drive 40+ miles (one way) in an ice storm. Especially since it's to the ghetto, South side of the big city.

Welcome to 2 months ago, easy coin if you don't mind giving up half your weekend.

 

[DumbTruckDriver]

So you're going to leave without permission to go to your "real" job?

If it makes him more money than preloading, it's a real job. No need for the sarcastic quotation marks.

Please leave all stories about this day here .

Not stupid at all, enjoying my coffee, out to lunch later, and some football on TV. Life is great here at home!

Now what kind of attitude is that to carry with you towards a company that has given so much to you and your family??

I'm worn out. I'm doing them a favor by not working today

Just messing with you brother. em'!!
As I said there is always another day for boxes. My manager must be desperate to ask me to come in as nearly every day of the year I get a text asking if I want the day off.
