College age part-timers are all haters cause they make little money, work what they think is too hard, and they're too young and healthy to need the insurance. I worked the sort for 6 years before going full time and I'm glad I did. Respect Son.... we're all on the same team.

One time when I was working at the UPS Store we shipped Janis Joplins front door...someone had bought it at an auction :P

poor whale. It shouldn't have to suffer in such an environment :(

The most famous irregs were the Terra Cotta Army warriors. That happened just a little after this video was made, I believe. I work irregs, and the equipment shown here looks like Louisville, not just any irreg sort at any old UPS hub.

Since when did we start using those irreg platforms? I've worked at UPS for 5 years and have never seen one of those...
