Gotta take the good with the bad.

Tie, the boss in the Flintstones is actually Mr. Slate, which is in keeping with whole rock theme (Pebbles, Bam Bam, Flintstone, Rubble, Bedrock) of the show. Did I just show my age?

I think dude has a right to be upset w/you. You made an excellent point until you decided to put that one sentence in there, which completely took away from the point that you were trying to make. It is OK to have the thought, but not always OK to express it.

We just had a little boy born without eyelids at our local hospital. When they circumcised him they used the forskin to make new eyelids. He's doing fine but he is a little cockeyed

UPS Lifer · 03-04-2008, 09:42 PM

I really don't think Dannyboy was trying to be mean to you....

This is why it may not be such a good idea to be out there with our customers!!!

BTW - If you knew this would happen then why are you putting yourself through this?

Again.... as one of the other posters said just stay an inside employee and keep minimal contact with others.

dannyboy · 03-05-2008, 05:31 AM

Lighten up dude

At first I thought by your first post after mine, you "got it" and were responding in kind. But I see by your last post, you didnt and that proves my point.

Too many people want everybody else to view them through different eyes, or to make special exceptions, or special rules, or just treat them differently than they do every one else. They ask for tollerance and understanding. But yet they want to be in the main stream of life.

But I find that in many cases, they themselves are the least tollerant, people with disabilities, handicap, people that yell racism or tell you you are a homophobe.

I find in life that you are treated like you treat others, not like you want to be treated.

Nothing wrong with being outstanding. Or standing out. But be prepared for the extra attention and scrutiny.

dannyboy, I dont care you are *****. But I never called a you one. Im not like that but if you are its ok I gues. I guess you are a big fan of mr Eltin John. Its ok for you I respect that so respect me please.

dannyboy · 03-05-2008, 08:04 AM

Funny how people read things into a story that are just not there.

Dude, Read my post again. My personal belief system dictates that the alternative lifestyle is wrong. But I also believe that I should not sit in judgement of those that choose that way of life. As long as they keep their choices to themselves, and dont force others to view their lifestyle as normal, I dont have a problem with what they choose for themselves. THat is one of the rights and privaliges that we enjoy in this country.

As for accepting you as you are, no problem. But understand my post to you. If you want others to accept you with your problem or short comming, you must also be prepared to accept them as well.

Question is, can you?

Because, I knew you were using tounge in cheek, and not serious, when you posted[quote]

You were trying to be funny, right? Thats the way I took it.

As for inside, not a cage, but inside the building. To where your exposure to the customer would be limited. Or feeders for instance. It would be in those jobs where your(and UPS's) exposure to problems would be limited.

Not trying to be jerks, just telling you reality. If I hire you as an employee, knowing you have a condition, and put you in a position where it could cause a problem, then I am responsible for what ever problem occurs.

Case in point.

You go out and say something that is sexually harrassing to a customer. That not only would be in bad taste, it is against the law. OR what if you used the N word to some of our darker skinned brothers? That is also against the law, and UPS would have the liability for that regardless of the problem you have. They knew about it in advance, put you in that position, and now the problem. Adn the lawsuit.

For the record, when you first posted, I assumed you were already full time in delivery. So that changes my recomendations some what from earlier on.

Not trying to rain on your parade, just letting you know what you will be facing.

My, My, where are all the moderators????

dannyboy · 03-05-2008, 08:18 AM

Now thats what I was talking about, humor!!!

See, I knew you got it!

Kid, lemme tell you something. You can go a long way. You can go as high up UPS's ladder as you want. All you need is the desire, drive, and some post highschool education. Just keep that sense of humor, and you got it licked.

PS HAzman, he is using his funny button. Dont you see the humor?

upsdude9 · 03-05-2008, 08:24 AM

dannyboy · 03-05-2008, 08:30 AM

Nuff said. See, I told you he had a sense of humor.

Dude, I dont have to be "like a man".

Dude

On the serious side, you have shown all of us you have what it takes to be a UPSer. But you also have shown you have a dark side. Control of that dark side is what you need. With it, you dont have a problem. Use what ever you need to use to control that dark side.

Best wishes

And yet all I did was call someone by their posted name (Puckin Idiot) (I still think it's a great handle) and Channahon the mod jumps all over a few of us
