Do you have kids? One time the wife and I played hooky and low and behold one of the kids decided to be sick that day. I swear they can read your mind.
What's happening with Amazon??

Run for President. It's working so far.I'm super jealous.
I wish I could work 2 days a week, go on a fancy vacation and make up sh:t just to keep my wife off my back.

Playing hooky means blowing off work in these parts.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Not yet. Trying though. Maybe that's why I like staying home so much. More time to try and make a baby.

Right, because secretly he doesn't WANT to go to Turks & Caicos in 6 weeks, the trip we already have plane tickets for and are saving up spending cash for, and he WANTED to burn an optional day today, on this dreary, gray, cold, Midwestern Thursday because why the hell not? And more than anything, he really loves that I work for thebag that i do and secretly really wants me to stay here longer than the 18 years I've already been, even though one of the best things for him about getting full time at UPS was the fact that I now would have options to go elsewhere. You're right, I mean, I've only known the man 17 years and I'm clearly stupid so you're totally right. I have no idea about who he is or what his intentions are.
You need to change your name to "bleedinred" because you seem to be on the rag 24/7 and give all women a bad name.
I'm not sure what the
you just posted, but they can't burn his option days for sending him home especially if he is full time.

Allergic to cardboard.
I thought that was odd too. Lots of drivers would be running out of option days quickly if that were the case.I'm not sure what the

The man has been at UPS for 14 years and is a laid off cover driver. I think his wife is trying to plant some ambition in his butt. Just speculating.

You have been told several times on this forum (3 threads)that he could get paid for 8 hours if he asserted his rights under the contract. You have established that he indeed is a full time cover driver.
Unless the 710 contract is radically different than the Master:
-If he works he can demand 8 hours, it only takes 1 grievance to stop this..
-If he is sent home after being scheduled to work (and he showed up AND WANTED TO WORK) he is likely entitled to 6 hours of pay to go home, again grieve it.
-If he is laid off he can bump 2 part timers (he worked in the bldg 14 years!), again grieve it.
-He can bump anyone in bldg who has a unskilled position..lots of unloaders and loaders.
-Since he sorted for many years, he could quite possibly be still qualified to do that work and bump 2 sorters.
Oh, he doesn't like sorting...so he doesn't push the issue.
-I can't see how they could force him to burn an option day... unless he wanted to go home...???
You say he wants to work, but he lets them push him around. And he tells you they forced him to take an option day when he wanted to work...UPS will not be the cause of your ulcer.
FILE A GRIEVANCE! Unless of course he actually doesn't want to work???

Took advantage of the extra bodies at work, and got yesterday, and today off. There is nothing I like better than time with my husband and my baby dog. I don't get much time with them and its precious. I don't mind a little alone time but I was single forever and had plenty of it.
Getting any time with my sons is special also and somehow the stars aligned, and my son was working in the area, and boom dinner together on my birthday. Awesome.
Today we shall go trash and treasuring, I need a photo printer, might go to Best Buy or somewhere. Have a nice relaxing lunch somewhere. And enjoy the long weekend!!
Pick up some new size 16 boots?
When I shop for dress shoes, I have to go to like a drag queens r us, or something, and its 12 not 16 dummy

Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time...
My high fashion, classy neighbor said she was going to take me shopping one day. She obviously didnt believe me. We walked in to some high dollar shoe store, that I would never enter. She goes immediately to the clerk, and told her I would like to see this, this and this in a 12. The lady laughed at her.....So then she says, lets to to JCP, sure why not I like Penneys. Same thing. Thats why I have 5 pairs and you have like 100.
