[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 327723, member: 1944"] You will be fine if you dont act wimpy, and if you need help, smile pretty and you can get it. Ive noticed at businesses when I was new, guys would stand there and watch me struggle with a pkg, that it took two of them to get on the dock. They wanted to see what a girl would do. At that time the weight limit was 70. They may have offered a hand to the guys, but they wanted me to ask. It was a power thing. But I never had that with my UPS guys, just other businesses. Once they get to know you, if you are nice, you will be treated fine. One place they sent me to, a steel mill, they were all hootin and hollerin, that I had to go meet Mean Gene. And he hated women in the workplace, etc. After 2 weeks he had a cup of coffee and donuts waiting for me. And still treated the other guys like crap. Kill them with kindness, seeing grubby old men all day, is boring. A female walks in and they spark right up. Use what you think is a disadvantage, to your advantage. Dont act weak, you cant be weak, but you can be different. Dont act like tough girl, just be yourself. Makes the job funner. JMHO [/QUOTE]
