Oh, yeah. You should probably apologize to barnyard. He's one of the least trollish of the mods.[/QUOTE]
Yeah... The one mod you really need to watch out for is the one who calls himself "picture perfect" or the "rollinmajigger" or some other funky name like that.. I think we have all lost track

Eat a good breakfast. If you have to pass gas wait till you are out of the truck.

I have a tour scheduled tomorrow for a seasonal package handler but I also have a family vacy coming up from Dec 22-26th, should I just go ahead and assume they wont hire me because I wont be available to work during those days?
Realistically you'll only miss two working days, you could probably get away with not telling them and calling in sick. You likely won't be needed much at all after the 26th anyways.
I always have found it weird though how many people look for jobs 3 weeks before going on vacation and expect everything to be fine, though.

common sense RULES.
observe the Golden Rule
put yourself in the bosses shoes. ( anticipate )
go the extra mile. ( come in a little early and always ask near end of shift if there is anything else you can do )
come to work clean and well groomed. ( that will help you stand out .. ha ha )
as hectic as it will get , a good supervisor will notice a good worker and will put in a good word in for you. let them know that you are interested in work after peak.
good luck

Please do this. At least shower at some point during the day before you work. It's so incredibly disgusting to have to stand next to someone who doesn't have the decency to bathe themselves and see no reason to wear deodorant.

Congratulations. Work smart, stay busy and you will be OK. Remember, this company demands alot and will push you, but they also know you can only do so much. ( they won't let you know that though )

Ah gee Thanks. I was one of 10+ seasonal people trying to get this job and worked my ass off to get this opportunity. I am fully aware that it isn't easy to get full time job off the street and I was incredibly lucky to be in my center at the right time. Every other upser I've talked to recognizes that..... Have a good night.

Not sure about that ... Ups has a tendency to make good workers turn into good union folks after awhile in the job... Just saying...seen it happen over and over especially for off the street hires who try to prove something because " ups took a chance on me" then things take a 180 degree turn after the abuse starts!!
