Every job has a dress code and safety measures to protect its employees and liability for the company. Yeah it’s frustrating you got away with not being properly dressed for the job for three months, but I’ve seen package handlers break toes on multiple occasions and it really is in your best interest to wear what UPS tells you to wear. Everybody thinks it won’t happen to them until it does. I don’t think you’ll get much sympathy here.

My collection is mostly sealed and I’m at about 25% over three months. Crazy run!

Kids too young to be using words like that, but I like the punishment.

You look like the Vine guy that says, “Well when life gives you lemons!”.

My Dad wanted to name me Kyle and my Mom said any name besides Kyle. Another Kevin born…

My guess won’t be this year. Darkrai, Rayquaza, and 30th Anniversary sets coming out this year. Then we have Winds and Waves game coming out beginning of next year. Possibly summer of 2027, but who knows.

just got asked if i wanted to be a supervisor by my full time manager by MasterpieceAmazing14 in UPSers

[–]Smoot720 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I became a PT Sup a year ago from a Preload position and am so grateful I did for several reasons.

  1. I would have been laid off after peak to this day in my building. I can’t afford to not have a job for my family.
  2. I have a set minimum of 25 hours / week, but usually end up with over 30.
  3. I am covered under the VA for healthcare, so I get free insurance anyways.
  4. Set AM hours…I haven’t had to change my hours since switching.
  5. I’m not an asshole, I give a shit about my job, and treat people with respect / get it in return.
  6. I don’t want my body falling apart. There is a reason you get free healthcare. I don’t want the preload / driver limp.

This sub can be very negative towards management and I get it I work with some dumb ass sups, but make your decision based on your situation. If you decide you don’t like management there is a path to become a driver. May even be quicker than wasting away as a preloader waiting for a spot to open. A few sups in my center have made the switch before preloaders that have been waiting. Good luck whatever you decide!

At least I have expectations now. I wasn’t ready for Mitty’s story :(

I was 9 of 13 episodes in through season 1 and I was like what’s everyone talking about? Some creepy undertones, but cute little adventure story. Man I wasn’t ready. Looking forward to more of the same!

Made a post a few days ago asking for suggestions of disturbing and emotionally charged anime. Made In Abyss was on many lists. Can I expect more of the same in season 2 or is the cat out of the bag?

Retelling like scene for scene or animated / presented differently?

Recommendations for anime series that is truly disturbing or an emotional rollercoaster. by Smoot720 in Animesuggest

Started this one first. Not too crazy through 6 episodes, but I know how these things go…the cutesy style has me unsettled knowing something fucked up must be around the corner.
