The Fedex Man is Funny
Monday, November 22nd, 2004 - 1:14pm
Fedex showed up with a package a few minutes ago and as I signed the form he looked down at the package and then back at me.

I told him it's ok to hate me and he laughed and said thanks. 
I don't know what it is about delivery people but they all seem to be so nice. It must be a very zen sort of job.

Congrats.. the UPS one here is a dick... could be because I order all heavy stuff (19""-21"" monitors / UPS / Servers / lead) at the office.... Not to mention since we make tires and have molds (300Lbs +) shipped to us and tire/rims (some as much as 200Lbs) shipped by them I could see why
The fedex guy is nice enough though... then again he usually only has to carry stuff from newegg and tigerdirect.

Must be zen because he holds the power to deny people that which they desire most.

Um, was it WoW?

Nope! Getting that locally.

Certis probably got an early shipment of those anal massagers from Target to hand out to all his friends and relatives as christmas gifts.
That''s why the FedEx guy was in such a good mood. It''s not everyday he gets to deliver a box with a big ""Fragile! Anal Massagers Inside!"" stamped on it.

Haha, I accidentally swapped an ''e'' for the first ''a'' in ""massagers"". Now that''s a weird concept.

I''m tempted to Sig that just so every one of my posts would add fodder to the next Attention perverts post

Heh..I have a buddy that drives for UPS. He''s got the same happy-go-lucky attitude that I have never seen in my line of work (professional code-monkey). I asked him about it one day, and he told me that after getting his MBA, he started applying for jobs in the areas that interested him, but nobody would pay him more than he was getting paid at the UPS gig that he worked to pay for school.
He made 85k last year delivering packages. When he''s not working, he''s not worrying about work. He gets called in on days off, but that is paid at 1.5 his normal rate, so he doesn''t mind it. Plus, he gets tons of exercise, etc. He owns a home in Orange County (no small accomplishment), and will be one of the few folks I know who will actually be able to retire before he''s 60 and live comfortably.
I hate him.

I wonder what a UPS driver makes in my town? I will quit for that money.

That''s about 25K in Pennsylvania right?

I said the same thing to my friend. Apparently, it''s a system where you have to work your way up. I don''t have that kind of time:)
UPS is unionized. When you begin you work for pretty close to peanuts, but survive for around 5 years, and you are making some serious money. My current job offered more than a second year UPS drivers salary so I took it. I probably shouldn''t have.
That job has no future. Transporter transmogrifiers will make delivery persons obsolete in a few years!

The Q32s give more of a KA-BANG!. Of course, when you reverse the polarity, you can get a satisfying KABOOM! and save a few bucks (Although you will void your warranty!)

You have to love guys that can take that kind of tangent on a post about deliverymen.
I salute you all!

I went to apply at UPS, they said the average delivery driver salary was in the $75K/year range.

After searching the net a bit I have concluded that its:
lludium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator.
Several sights list PU-36 but that was maybe 2 of them.
