[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 289762, member: 5938"] Sounds like a part-time inside position would be good for you right now. It's a great workout, has the benefits plus it gives you plenty of time during the day to pursue other options. Congratulations on your education! It is great back-up in case you don't like the inside work. I've seen sports players just out of high school who couldn't handle the job. May be the UPS BS, the dirt, the noise, the hours or any number of reasons. I've also seen petite woman and small-built men bust butt and enjoy the work. It's all a matter of what you can tolerate. It's certainly a dirty, noisy place to work and some of the workers just don't give a hoot. Management has a way of "dumbing us down" which is difficult for anyone with a good mind. Micro management, it's called, and they want to tell you every move to make even when you know what you're doing. Frustrating. There's also the matter of numbers, which management obsesses over. They often try to get us to work harder than we safely can just to get the pkgs moved. Takes some strong will to work safely and disregard the hounding. From your post I'd suggest you give it a shot. Come back and ask questions or just vent a bit. We've all been through it and folks here are very helpful. Just hang in there and best of luck! [/QUOTE]
