I'm sorry, but I have been reading through this thread and each time I reread it one thing stands out and it's aggravating me to end. I feel I really have to say something or I'll explode. I hope no one gets offended by what I have to say, but it really is irritating me like an itch I can't reach in the middle of my back. Upstate, that should be either 99.44% or 99 11/25%, not 99 44/100. Don't they teach reducing fractions up there in the north?

Whew. I feel better now.

But on a less ridiculous note, it's sad to hear that someone had to learn the hard way about honesty. I've always looked at UPS as somewhat like winning the lottery. Over the course of your career you will likely have earned about $2 million. Most lotteries pay that out over a 20 year period. The only difference between UPS and the lottery is that you have to put in 50 to 60 hours a week to get the check. I will never understand why people will take a chance to throw that away. There are no $2 million dollar packages that will come through UPS.

Stop bashing the guy. Everyone got their digs is already. All he did was come here for a little advise for a very foolish thing he did. I think he is feeling bad enough as it is.

i think i know who he is. so i believe this isnt a troll thread.
is joe your steward?

Im far from perfect as many of us here are! But i have never put anything into my pocket that i have not paid for, especially from the company that employees me.

We are not talking about a child making a mistake we are atlking about a man with children that stole! Big differences in your two's argument about being perfect.

Let me guess he just happened to trip over his handcart, his phone than fell out of his pocket, slit open another package and switched out phone cases by accident!

I was mimicking the Ivory soap commercials in which they claim their soap is 99 44/100% pure. This is from their website:

An established American icon of pure clean, Classic Ivory Soap is a simple, pure formula that cleanses
your skin by removing dirt and oils which can clog pores. The classic, 99 44/100% pure formula
contains no heavy perfumes or lotions so it leaves your skin feeling naturally clean with a light,
Ivory-clean smell. Discover the consistent quality and value that have made Ivory the leading pure soap
on the market for decades.

Whew. I feel better now.

Sounds like somebody needs a hobby. As I was told the other day by another forum member, Lighten up, Francis.

I knew there had to be a logical explanation.

Well, I don't feel better about this at all!!! I knew what Upstate meant because I've seen the commercials, but this leaves us with a very important question.......

Why doesn't Ivory reduce their fractions???

I'll venture a guess, but it may be a bit of a stretch...


A recently laid off UPS management type person now works in Ivory's advertising department and 99 44/100% looks better on paper than 99 11/25%.

You are a twenty year driver and find it necessary to seek advice regarding your indiscretion on Brown Cafe? I would think more germaine advice to your situtation would be found from among those you worked with for the last 20 years. What did they have to say?

BBS, you can use your helper 99 44/100 minutes or 99 11/25 minutes--which do you choose?

I get a helper this year?


Woohoo!!!


Peak's looking better already.

The bigger question is what possesses a guy to go to Ivory Soap's website?

To show where I got my unreduced fraction from.

Why, do you feel insecure about going to those kind of websites?

Just figured you for a body wash on a buff-puff kinda guy.

You can get your job back if you were fired or quit. You may want to try to use the EAP employee assistance program Call the EAP and get help. If you have no prior history and you have difficult circumstances; you may get your job back. People have got their jobs back after much worse offenses than yours. Very stupid to do but we all suffer moments of stupidity.

Spicy browned out has given you an excellent source to use the EAP process is completely confidential Ups is in no way contacted when someone uses this service. Its opens 24 hours a day everyday 800-336-9117 or www.achievesolutions.net/UPS this is a great benefit that's offered to all of us ups employees for different reasons.

Spicy good luck and best wishes to you and your children I hope everything will work out for you. Sometimes hardest lessons in life are learned when a door shuts and we think there's no light at the end. I do believe everything happens for a reason good or bad its what we take away and then apply. Use the Value options its a great resource... take care let us know how your doing

I was just trying to say that we are beating a dead horse here. I know it was not just a simple mistake. It's obvious it was a deliberate act. I don't condone his actions either. In fact I would wonder how he knew what box it was in.
