I have to agree with that. My part time job is very labor intensive and I do it about 30 hours a week. I feel a lot worse now than I did two years ago when I started. My elbows, knees and back are always sore all the time.
Then again, I'm the 99 pound geek variety, so maybe this doesn't apply to me?
Hey, I still work at ups and your numbers are a little off. I think the starting pay is only $8.50 an hour and the temp is a little closer to 110 (I guess depending on what state your in) Plus the loaders usually put about 900-1000 boxes in each trailer. So if anything, your assessment of the situation was generous. It is a hard place to work.
I didn't want to nitpick, but if people complain about spelling and correct you on your astronomical calculations down to.00001% I figured this would be okay.
I live in Indiana, one of the states that used to ignore the insanity. No longer, next year they are forcing us to switch to DST. So it would appear that the country is going in the other diection.
(sigh) It was a nice ride while it lasted.
