[QUOTE="NoBrownForMe, post: 74333, member: 4628"] [b]New clothes[/b] The pants are actually kinda nice, not polyester, and I can wear them and the T-shirt elsewhere, though brown isn't really my color. Or wasn't.:biggrin: I haven't sent the letter yet and will tighten the words up a bit before I do. The extra 3 is a typo, thnx for catching that. I may cut the part about sending me the check. I did waste my time, though: My day was stolen by UPS. The way I see it, my time has some value, too. If I were a UPS employee and behaved the way UPS did to me yesterday, would UPS have fired me? Probably. Screw 'em, they're fired. I just fired my "job" for being riduculous. Thankfully it didn't go very far. Wily, I know UPS had a great reputation when I was 25 years younger as being a good job to have but good hard work. Maybe I was being mislead back then, too? I mean, did it suck 20 years ago like it seems to today? Was management as oppressive then as they seem to be now? Was the union as in bed with the company back then as it seems to be now? I don't know the answers to any of these questions, but you must, right? What WAS it like 20 or 25 ago? Maybe we've all been fooled by the respectable public facade for all this time. Was there ever a time when it wasn't like it is now? It seems like the most defensive UPSers are the veterans who are bringing in the big senior union scale pay. Easier to be conservative when you've got something to conserve, if you catch my drift. Merry Christmas, all -- be safe out there. [/QUOTE]
