[3 done 3 to go]

Its easy money. But it took till 2 weeks ago to get my pay. So this yr. It should be Oct next yr I get the balance

 

[Indecisi0n]

Triple time here and they can keep it. Only time I worked it was as a casual because I had to. Never again.

I totally agree.

 

[jaker]

The whole thanksgiving thing bugs me , I already had to work because I didn't have enough seniority

Then when I finally get enough it's not a day off anymore

 

[barnyard]

My boss has said that we are delivering to less than half our zip codes. Generally thee are enough high seniority guys that want to work that very few are forced. I don't think either of my daughters are coming home for that weekend, so I might work.

In my whole 30 years I never volunteered to work any day that wasn't a scheduled work day. I was never that money hungry and enjoyed my time off.

Do you hate your life that much?

 

[bottomups]

I am a full time driver and will NOT be working Black Friday. Guaranteed!!!

Neither will I. Won't put in any hours in December either.

I am hoping to bid 4 weeks in a row to spend with them. They both live more than a day's drive away and the extra dough would just make for that much more we can do during those 4 weeks.

 

[Covemastah]

And he's been driving for fifteen years.

Whaaaaaat????

 

[FrigidFTSup]

Black Friday is a cake day. My whole family lives far away, so no sense flying for only a few days, and my fiancee will probably be shopping that day. Keeps me away from the leftovers.

How're you doing?

Just had an appointment yesterday. Bone healing great.. They start me on more aggressive therapy tomorrow to get my strength and flexibility up a bit. My next appointment isn't until 1/06/16 so I will be off until at least then. My chiropractor has actually been doing a ton for me. He specializes a bit in shoulders so he enjoys torturing me. He's been breaking up a lot of the damaged tissue and muscle so that I can actually get more out of therapy.

You can blame Amazon for that. If it were up to the company we wouldn't be working.

Any good news on the financial end?

So when are they passing out the turkeys? ----------------------------------------sorry- I couldn't resist.

I think 2006 or 2007 was the last free turkey,maybe?

Glad you're healing up.

Sucks you have to wait so long.

Good luck, bud.

I think 05 but not sure. I know I got one every year I was part time. Meant a lot to me as a part timer.

I remember when I first started out we would keep the turkeys for ourselves but in the latter years we would donate them.
