[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 1025964, member: 16651"] Upstate; You're welcome. And, BTW...kinda' like fish sticks myself. Actually, my big beef about "the change" is that, for a long time, I thought it caused p/t'ers to squander their lives away waiting for a full-time job at UPS when they could be advancing their careers elsewhere. That said, I started out as a p/t'er myself, and then started driving after I graduated from college....not a common career path at UPS at the time. But after I went into management, I saw many, many p/t'ers who I thought were simply "running in place" at a time in their lives when they should have been considering a long-term career outside of UPS. In truth, I still feel that way. It hurts me to hear about guys waiting around for 5, or 7, or 10 years or whatever for a full-time job. I feel real sympathy for them...but, at the same time, I can't help but wonder why they didn't "move on" when they had the chance. On the other hand, given the benefits (if not the wages) of a p/t job at UPS today, and having come see what things like medical insurance cost, I can understand why it may seem the best available option.
