[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 221208, member: 4653"] Ahhh. This talk about cornerstone training and what to wear to work for your first week brings back memories of when I first started. They were fond memories (seriously) for the most part. I started around this time of year in the hub, so it was hot. I was flat broke and had no shorts so I cut a pair of sweat-pants to make some shorts. I also used a pair of batting-gloves to protect my hands, which lasted all of 3 days before they were destroyed! Man, I really enjoyed that job. I was about 30 pounds over weight and lost most of it before I made senoirity. I remember going to my "pre senoirity" meeting and the shirt I was wearing was completely wet from sweat. It was like i dived into a pool with my shirt on, LOL. This is why I am totally grateful for my job at UPS and I take nothing for granted. When I started I had about $33 dollars in the bank. I was making $8.50 and hour and working about 4.5 hours a day. Thankfully I lived in my mother's basement. But within 2 years from that point, I had a full-time position and then a full-time driving position. I went from $8.50 per hour to 28 bucks come Aug. 1st and making $70,000 anually. So to all you guys in the hub, stick it out and, you too can live a comfortable life someday. The only problem I have with the job is what its doing to my body. Management doesn't bother me. The hours don't bother me. People might piss me off now and then, but for the most part I like talking with customers during the day. I also enjoy being outdoors, save for the 5 or 6 snowstroms we have here the norteast. The thing I can't handle though is the way my body feels EVERY day. It seems the worst at my first stop. It takes me about 30 min. to get on route and I really feel like crap when I get out to make that first stop. Anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with everyday body pain? If I feel this way in my 30's how am I going to feel in my 50's? [/QUOTE]
