I can put on enough clothes to stay warm, but there is no way to take enough off to stay cool!!
I disagree totally. I can dump ice water down my shirt and on my head all day long. In the winter you just freeze.I can put on enough clothes to stay warm, but there is no way to take enough off to stay cool!!
I know preload is bad enough, but try unloading twilight shift when its 109 degrees, and 100% humidity inside a package car that's been running in the sun with the bulkhead door closed and heat radiating in through both the roof and the exhaust pipes running under the floor. Far less walking though, but nonstop movement with the same heavy packages.Sorry to invade your thread drivers.
Try preloading a shift at 89 degrees and 100% humidity next to hot running machinery and almost walking continuously 3-4 miles a night with heavey packages. Ahh, the good life LOL XD~!~.
I would rather freeze then roast.
I'm just glad we don't wear uniforms inside, especially with polyester. I can barely stand a cotton tank top. It gets completely soaked by break time every night.The trouble with that is after you put on long johns and a half a dozen layers of clothes you will eventually get hung up at some stop waiting for a COD or any one of a dozen other reasons. Its always the place that has their heat up to 85 degrees so now you end up both sweaty and cold.Its just way easier to work wearing a short sleeve shirt (one that is thread bare and has been washed so many times you can just about see through it) and a pair of sexy UPS shorts than it is looking like one of South Park characters.
YouTube - omg they killed kenny , you bastards
Good luck, Joopster, hope those pants are layered with Kevlar.waaah. I am headed for afghanistan soon. It's warm there and I have to wear pants.
Confucis say: ---anyone that says they would rather work in the cold-- hasn't worked in real cold.( last winter we had a lovely -37 below morning -------in sure my fellow workers would rather of stayed in bed ---- like me)
