I am pleased to type that I will longer longer be loading, or unloading, for UPS. In memory of my loading days I have posted the above picture. I honestly will miss loading. I enjoy the game Tetris and loading was just a life sized game of Tetris, except you felt the weight of the pieces! It was satisfying work to build a solid wall. There are many things I won't miss about loading. The rollers, the jams, boxes that would be broken and the contents falling out, and getting backed-up are a few.
I was asked a couple of weeks ago if I wanted to go pick-off on the Yellow Belt. It is on the opposite side of the building where I have been working. I will be separating boxes into 6 different trailers. During Peak Season, when I picked-off for the belt I loaded on, I separated boxes into 3 trailers.
I was able to pick-off on Thursday and Friday of last week to get some practice. This week I am on vacation, YEA! Next week I go back to picking-off. I will not get a raise increase, because I had already received it earlier, but it is a change.
