Another Newbie Driver Helper question....

[Jkloc420]

Thanks for the pointer. I'm not entirely too familiar with the position titles there, is this a different coordinator that am I supposed to talk to? Thanks again!

it is whomever coordinates the helpers

True

Indeed, about 3 1/2 weeks ago to be more precise.

So, to be more precise, the end of October.

Who's bottom list I'm in? who's getting first dibs?

Thanks!

The bottom of the list of all the others who were hired before you.

Yes it does sounds about right. I first applied online around this time, then two weeks passed for the interview and yet another two weeks for orientation. Finally, a couple more days for the first call.

One thing that I did noticed yesterday about the driver helper was that he seemed to be wearing the official uniform (we were told only a vest was going to be provided) so I'm unsure if he was a previous returning driver helper or what...
Also during the orientation, many were returning helpers from last year which seemed a little odd for them to go through it again but I guess it is the protocol. Some even seemed to already have appointed drivers.

Why do you have so much free time?

 

[burrheadd]

No, no criminal background, no high maintenance employee, no hurting for monies, no drugs ("Winners Don't Use Drugs"),no smoke, available 24/7, zero, zip zilch, nada!

So, you got all that going on and your taking a $12 an hour temp job

Got to be more to this story

Not necessarily but if it happens, I welcome it with open arms. Also, I totally understand the whole concept of one must walk before flying.

I was just reading another thread and the OP wrote the following: "At the end of the day I feel a sense of accomplishment, a sense of being a hard worker for my money, and a sense of comradery."

I think something like this is what I'm after.

After slinging cardboard for 10 or 12 hours

Your reach a certain Zen like state only then can you get that warm and fuzzy feeling

 

[burrheadd]

That's probably what I'll do in the end, I hate bothering people. I'm assuming this is one of the high peak weeks when it comes to deliveries but I'm sure "Turdferguson" is right about the whole: "They are only allowed to use so many no matter how much work they have".

I want to see some action. I've even contemplating working there from free ,but that's totally ilegal

What kinda “action” you looking for

Hmmm there is nothing else that I can think of other than my looks I guess (clean shaven, no tats/piercings, well dress). I hope the race card doesn't apply here. When the coordinator first called, the person had trouble pronouncing my name.

$12??? which kingdom do you live in?

Please don’t ever EVER say “coolio”, maybe that’s the reason you didn’t get a call..........

No Saturdays in your center?

You need to get hooked up with @Future. He loves having a helper, comradeship, and..........Cats!
