[QUOTE="OptimusPrime, post: 1060236, member: 35063"] First day was just book work, maybe a brief tour. Was told on our second day we would be able to take the sort test for just our state. Aced it, so from then on reported to work two hours early for the sort test. Took me two days to pass that, so I unloaded only one. And that was cake. Was too fast for the sorters. (In retrospect, understand it's not about raw speed. A smooth steady flow is actually faster). That triggered a montage scene of me working and going to school, me working at UPS and a full time job, me getting layed off by my FT job, so I just did PT and UPS and collected partial unemployment.(Those were the days.) And here I sit, 11 years later having drove FT PC for about 7-8 months. Would I recommend it? Nope. But I like a lot of people never thought I would be a lifer. Glad I stuck it out. [/QUOTE]
