Hi new permanent worker here at UPS. I love working at UPS. How do women packages handlers get through during their period days?? I get extreme period cramps and mood swings/ depressio and very heavy flow. Due to my mental health issues, it mentally really hard for me to get through the days on top of physical pain. First day of my period is toughest day. I know US does not have period leave days. Did you ever call out because of period and if so what reason did you give ?
I keep hydrated, preload some excedrin, and hope for a not insane day. As a cover driver there's always a chance of being extra so I can go home or try to snag an easier rural route off of someone. I also prefer pads or a cup over tampons. They require fewer bathroom trips.

I have had to call in a few times. I just tell them that I'm not feeling good at all. I understand you, my first two days are bad for me too.

Geography of a Woman:
Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa - half discovered, half wild, fertile and naturally beautiful.
Between 23 and 30, a woman is like Europe - well developed and open to trade, especially for something of real value.
Between 31 and 35, a woman is like Spain - very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.
Between 36 and 40, a woman is like Greece - gently aging, but still a warm and desirable place to visit.
Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain - with a glorious and all-conquering past.
Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Israel - has been through war, doesn't make the same mistakes twice and takes care of business.
Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Canada - cool, self-preserving, but open to meeting new people.
After 70, she becomes Tibet - wildly beautiful, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages ... an adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge.

Geography of a man:
Between 1 and 80, a man is like Iran - ruled by a couple of nuts.
