[QUOTE="jlphotog, post: 136069, member: 6986"] I'm freaking nuts? See my signature line :wink: Apparently I work in the wrong geographical area. I am not making anywhere near $41 an hour. I'm only two weeks into seniority. Even at time and a half I am making just a little over half of that. Let me explain where I am coming from on this. UPS is the first company I have worked for that is union. For the past 15 years or so I have been self employed as a photographer. (get my nic now?) During that time, if I didn't show up early to each assignment I would be SOL when the start time arrived. Old habits die hard I guess. Maybe after I have been a good 'ol boy for a while I will be able to change my habits but until then, this is who I am. I would like to point out that I am nowhere near the only one in our center doing this. Since this was brought up in another post in this thread let me ask you guys. How do you take your full hour for lunch? For my first 90 shifts I was code 05 so I really didn't care. But since being switched over to code 06 I have tried to take an hour, but have not succeeded at it yet. I start to get antsy at about 20 minutes and bail after about 30 or 40. Even reading a newspaper doesn't work for me. [/QUOTE]
