So I work for Ground. I absorb some HD packages that are part of my route. It's not by choice. They make me do it. If it was my choice, I would eat cheese puffs and drink blue moons all day. Anyway.. I get the occasional HD package. Most are easy driver releases that I just toss onto the porch or yard or whatever. But I have this one stop that I get about twice a week. It's an elderly lady, and she lives in the 8th floor of a hi-rise. She only gets tiny envelopes that are meds.
My first time up there, I was huffing and puffing because I was out of breath. The elevator is sh|tty, and it always breaks down. I'm very fat, so it's hard to move these man thighs around. The lady is very nice. I got this genius idea. The lady was in a wheelchair and has a hard time getting to the door to open it. But.... she always sits on her deck overlooking the street. I said "Hey lady, I got a great idea. You're elderly, and I'm fat. I have a remote control helicopter at home. Give me your phone # and i'll call you and ill fly the package up to you." She loved the idea.
I rigged up my badass RC copter with a little basket and I flew the packages up to her. Driver releases. Everybody was happy. My copter is only about 9 inches long. This lady was my fav. customer. One day I landed the copter and she clipped a small bag of red hot cheetos to the basket. I would have married her if she wasnt like 100. Sometimes shed send me other sweets. Ive been doing this for 2 months. Well, someone called in and complained. I guess they thought it was unprofessional. The manager called me in and made me watch a stupid video. My contractor told me if I get one more complaint in 6 months, Ill get canned. WTF is the big deal?????? I thought it was a good idea. I can't be the only one whos ever used an RC copter to deliver envelopes right? What happened when you guys got a complaint?
This is such bull ****!The elevator in this dang place is broken again and I have to lug my 360 pound ass up stairs twice a week, 8 floors! If I cant get my copter back, Im thinking of buying her a fishing pole and putting a big weight on the end with a clothes pin. Then I clip that sucker to the pin and she reels it up like a bass. Why cant fedex leave us alone? We took a ****ty situation and made it into something positive. I should be getting a raise for showing ingenuity! Not being threatened with a firing and watching stupid videos! What would you guys do?
