[QUOTE="wangbar, post: 613165, member: 25593"] I think I understand you. And thank you for your candor and good information. Here's the deal; for the last 4 years I have worked at Home Depot. I left there because the scheduleing was becoming hard to fit in with my lifestyle. As I mentioned before, I'm a working musician. That sunrise pre-load shift sounds really attractive for that reason. Now, at HD I had to deal with freight on a daily basis. Often I had pallets of kegs of nails, for example, weighing 30/35 lbs. that had to be put in the over head. I would have to carry them by hand up a ladder. I didn't have a speed that I had to maintain, because I had to help customers at the same time. My point is though, I think I understand what I getting into. I've had to unload truck loads of xmas trees, deal with freight (and UPS) when I was loaned to shipping and receiving, etc. All while still helping customers, because they come first. There were times when I was hitting my stride, only to be interupted by a customer, I would help that customer gladly, but inside I wished that I could just not have had to deal with that while I was doing the grunt work. I'm no stranger to hard work. I was in the construction industry for years. I'm older now, yes, but I think that I can endure package handling part time. At least for awhile, then hopefully I can move to another area that's not so labor intensive. No guaranty, I know, just hoping. [/QUOTE]
