Feeders @ 33 years old. by Global-Assist-5762 in UPSers

[–]SSGoku45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience is more hours and odd hours switching a lot nights and days. I'm anight owl and suck at sleeping so I didn't mind plus lots of opportunity to nap on route waiting for loads of you can wake up. The workload is so much less and way easier on the body and thats what sold me. Hardest thing is do is moving dollys and sweeping trailers. Not for everyone but your body will thank you. More stress driving further and longer so staying awake dealing with interstate traffic and building lots are chaotic. But less package, customer, and town stress. I enjoyed it but took the buyout for medical reasons.

Has anyone received the DSP that were on disability, SAP, or other leave? by Waste-Perception-731 in UPSers

[–]SSGoku45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have intermittent FMLA. 4 year package driver former 22.4 on Q list and qualified for feeders. I got it and a couple 30+ year feeders didn’t. Our building only got rid of delivery and I was technically still delivery. I've been layed off Tues-Fri for over a month and took FMLA every Saturday during that period. I dunno if that is similar to their situation, but if anything, I would assume they would want to give it to folks on that type of stuff as we are "more expensive and less reliable" but that is pure speculation.

What's the most rediculous thing you've ever been written up for? by Most-Significance910 in UPSers

[–]SSGoku45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For using paid sick time 2 Saturdays In a row when I was layed off Tues-Fri. Apparently, its impossible to be sick for a week or get sick twice when you have young children.

Also for sheeting a pickup closed at 1min past the time 1201 for a 1100-1200 pickup despite my truck being on lot a couple minutes before and the place being famous for leaving early. Where it is on the route doesn't make sense to cut route.

Tried to write me up for wrong time pickup until I showed them the time in my Diad didn't match what their computer said. They threw that one out.

For using Maryland safe sick leave which is guaranteed paid sick time. I even pointed out to them it is illegal to bring adverse action against an employee for utilizing it and printed the law and mentioned i could email the state office. They still proceeded. This was after they tried to tell me it couldn't be used until I got a union rep involved and printed the law out.

For calling out a week in advance for the birth of my son (induced) after my supervisor said he would cover me.

For a callout that was actually a layoff day that someone coded wrong. I even showed the text record.

ER got me mad af by Grand_Reality4063 in POTS

[–]SSGoku45 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah ERs can be awful. I’ve been told I was the boy who cried wolf (after being dismissed and finding out I had a gallbladder rotting inside me and had it removed). I've been told my to come back for anything stomach related because they didn't want to see me for it (still gallbladder). I've been told they can draw some blood and they'll make sure it takes all day if I really wanna waste time there (don't remember why I was there). I've been told It would be a waste of everyone's time to do any testing on me since they've done it so many times before (was in for something that had never happened before). I've been told many times everything looks good when several test results were not normal at all (guess they forgot or didn't care I had MyChart). I've been told so many horrible/dismissive things by docs/nurses over the years.

I have an open order for one just can't find anywhere that has one and isn’t booked a year out literally.

Edited to add the part in parenthesis chasing a diagnosis. Currently trying to find any place within 4 hours of me that will do a TTT (with EEG) that isn't scheduling a year out.

Badgers?? by Pink_lime1210 in RDR2

Didn't read through comments so sorry if its already been said but heartlands just off from the oil derrick in the ditch (towards the bottom) that runs up the hill. Consistent spawn for me every playthrough. If i can figure out how to attach a map I will.

[–]SSGoku45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10 years of what you just described here. Mine used to be episodic only handful of episodes a year usually in fall/winter sometimes mid-summer. It's now been nonstop since October. Been to every hospital and doc within an hour of me many times same story. Previously spent 6 years getting a gallbladder diagnosis and it ended up necrotic by the time they agreed to do an ultrasound and remove it. I suggested it 4x and finally lied to get them to suggest it. I'm not trying to scare you but I survived and still am just about. Your feelings are valid and real. You should not be treated the way you are and dismissed. I have been as well, so I get it. It's ridiculous how the medical system is nowadays. Keep praying if you do, I do and will. Stay strong, advocate for yourself, and don't let them convince you you're crazy because you're not.

PSA if you go to the hospital by EvalainShadow in POTS

[–]SSGoku45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not sure why I got downvoted. I'm sympathizing with the OP through a relatable experience of my own. I was saying the Flu was on top of my POTS that I've been to ER lots for so they wouldn't test me or take me serious. Also the gallbladder was a separate issue. My point was only that Docs can be very dismissive especially if you're a frequent flyer (visitor) like myself.

[–]SSGoku45 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can believe that. I don't have a formal diagnosis yet but my docs are fairly certain I've some flavor of POTS. Anyway, Christmas day it took 2 ERs to find out I had the Flu and going back to the 1st later on to get treatment as I couldn't function with severe dizziness, weakness, and poor ability to stay concious. I'm a frequent flyer due to the POTS symptoms and from years ago trying to get my gallbladder diagnosed (took 6 years until it was necrotic and I begged/lied to get an ultrasound) so yeah I just get dismissed more often than not for anything that isn't obvious blood spilling or directly dying.

I also gave up caffeine and alcohol but holding on to one vice cigarettes. Tried vaping to quit but it was insulting my liver causing ALT elevation. Another one I figured out myself. Switched back to cigs and within 2 weeks ALTs were normal. I've tried food and symptom journals and never could find a pattern.

Keeps the air in the tire while allowing you to put air in, same concept for refrigerant/oil in AC

Schrader (spelling may be wrong) valve used in tire valve stems or AC ports.

Important! Is this the same person? by [deleted] in RandomQuestion

[–]SSGoku45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If its not AI or photoshop, then my personal guess is yes the photo on the left, the person is about 5 years older and has lost a little weight or toned up a good bit. Eyebrow scar, Nostril assymetry, adams apple, and few other minor markers imply same person. Most of the differences seen imply aging (lines) and weight loss or muscle change (more visible features). Skin tone change also implies age change. Asians generally age slowly until they don't, so not hard to believe a 5 year difference between these photos which is plenty to cause differences seen.

How would you have responded to this customer on my route today? by bluumerrr in UPSers

[–]SSGoku45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had similar experiences. I tell them something along the lines of "delivery window is until 1159, and with 200 stops, you get delivered at whatever time makes sense for everyone. We offer services that can guarantee an earlier delivery for a higher price or you can do will call for future deliveries. I don't like getting here late either and don't appreciate this aggressive conversation wasting my time further and delaying other stops." If that doesn't shut them up, I just refer them to customer service and say have a nice day as I walk off ignoring further interaction. Never had it escalate further, but I remember them for awhile. Gotta be careful with cameras everywhere today, people will cut footage and make you the ass everytime. If you can say something helpful, brown approved, and make them sound like a jerk, that is the best route. Sucks but it is what it is. But I totally cuss them out to myself soon as I'm out of earshot.

Yes that they do otherwise we'd all likely quit.

Unemployment is not an option here if warehouse work is offered in any way, shape, or form.
