What's The Origin Of Your User Name?

[filthpig]

I tell the younger drivers (I started in 1975) "Do what they tell you (as long as it's not unethical or immoral), if it takes you longer, you make more money! Stay under the radar. I also tell them to let management make the decisions. If you have too many air stops, emergency conditions because of weather, etc. stay in communication with the center and let them make the decisions. Do the best you can but let them make the decisions.

I have found, after working for many different management people, that if you work with integrity and do what you agreed to do when you signed on to UPS you will prosper.

PREACH!!

 

[tieguy]

Vette-
Are you related to that other frequent management poster that often resorts to name-calling?......perhaps his alter-ego?.......perhaps one of his multiple personalities? (this means I thought it was funny).

I remember sickpony1. Did you think he was talking about you?

[FromBluetoBrown]

I went from being in the Navy and wearing Navy blue and now I work here at "Brown"

 

[wrenny040]

My real UPS nickname was a common one... Gizmo. (I was sure it was already taken). So I chose the avatar instead. My Sort manager saw me during an especially horriffic day, tilted his head slowly to the side, made the Gizmo squeal and said, "Why it's Gizmo, Ladies and Gentleman" in front of everyone in the lunchroom during the break. The name stuck. (My hair was never a mess again after that day). But I chose to use a childhood nickname -wren- the bird. Affectionately called wrenny.

How did "scratch" get that name? Was it like in Itchy & Scratchy?

I originally joined this site using the name of "Scratch King", but was later able to change it since the original "scratch" account was inactive. It came from my dog in my original avatar who used to roll over on his back and wiggle back and forth trying to scratch his fleas. (see post #50 on this thread!) Fortunately for me and Mrs. Scratch, I don't have fleas. And I probably seldom run "scratch" on my route anymore, although I do usually run under 9.5. My P7 does have a lot of scratches on the sides, it could use a new paint job. And some people probably think I scratch myself in odd places, but only when I think nobody else is looking!

 

[Big Babooba]

I was a big guy before my big weight gain, around 260 pounds. I took the nickname of our 27 pound cat Oreo. I got hurt last year and was out for 11 1/2 months. My weight shot up to over 300 pounds. Now my name fits me better than ever.

What my boss told me to do yesterday is the wrong thing to do today in the exact same situation therefore I am lost and not sure which rules to follow today.

[JustTired]

Mine is self explanitory.

Just tired......
........of being tired at the end of the day.
.......of the games we have to play these days.
.......of not being home at a decent hour.
.......of lugging all the money to the bank (I know,direct deposit).
.......of government and its' inability to do anything that makes sense (see, it's not just UPS!)
I could go on......but I'm getting kinda tired. Think I'll take a nap.

Or scratch and sniff?
Longlunchguy is an accusation from the management team that has never been proven.

[browniehound]

I conjured my name up from a 1984 movie I'm sure everyone has seen. "The Breakfast Club" is on at least once a month on cable and I have seen the movie about 5,000 times and can recite the lines word for word.

Yet, there is one line in this movie that sticks in my head and makes me laugh everytime I watch it. I really don't know what is meant when its said. John Bender is in high school dentention (all day on a Saturday) and the principle gives him crap. Once the principle leaves, he states to the detention class "That man, is a Browniehound".

My question is: what the heck is a Browniehound????? Does he like to eat brownies? Or is about someone being a brown-noser?

Anyway, I chose the name because I thought it sounded funny and now you know where I got it from.

 

[moreluck]

Brownie Hound.......

When an older man goes after young, young girls, such as girl scouts.
