you need a spare FD so you can enjoy driving it around almost daily.

UPS employees aren't allowed to lift over 70 pounds alone...union rules. They'd possibly get in trouble if there weren't 2 people delivering it, and they only run with 2 people per truck during the Christmas season.

Of course, that is my favorite rule to break, and my new supervisor doesn't really care.

I am a loader in the Des Moines hub...it's good times. I used to get written up all of the time for the lifting rule, but nobody cares any more. I lift whatever I have unless the full time supervisor is around...fire hydrants are my favorite.

Ha...anvils...who is shipping them, Acme? I keep meaning to take my sort test, but since I'll probably be gone in August, it's not really worth the bother now. Unloading is fun....sometimes I get loaders complaining about their backs hurting, so I tell them to unload for a day or two. Their backs will never hurt in outbound again! I did some unloading when they were short on people...the best was a whole truck of Gateways by myself. Damn near every box was 60 pounds.
