They do work you for your money! It is difficult to get into, and your driving is regularly checked up - if not upto UPS standards - trouble!

If you drive safely, and according to the UPS "driving habits", you'll be absolutely fine!

i'm used to being worked for my 20k a year by the British Army lol

I haven't been on the site for what seems like ages, work has been so busy with breakdowns, mainly frozen condense pipes. Looking forward to a rest on christmas day, but I am on call boxing day. I have then got nearly a week off, so I am super looking forward to that!

It's more than that!!! But no where near as much danger as the army!

Here we go, the final straight, just two days left to go.....then finally some time to do stuff!!!

I know how you feel Mike, last working week of the year and it has been the most busiest week of the year! That figures! :thumb1:

Will be glad of some feet time and a few beers with family and friends! :thumbsup:

Good god, I'm looking for delivery driver jobs now seriously. Just short of 30k a year for driving about ?

I really need to get involved with that tbh. That is really good money for sitting in a van.

I literally have to graft my ******** off all day every day lifting stupid stuff. Like yesterday we lifted a 260kg industrial gas cooker off a wagon by hand. The thought of driving about and dropping off packages for similar money sounds like a dream job if you ask me.

Mike; how many hours have you worked this week then?

If you can beat my record of hours worked in 7 days I will buy you a pint the next time I see you

part timer!!!

records i held at a previous company;

66 hours worked in 3 days (breaks added extra)

[clio200cup]

you just NEVER know plus it's a useful top trump lol

 

[Mike]

Woooaaahhhh, hang on, this isn't a competition as to who has worked the most hours. All I am saying to you is that the reason I haven't been on as often as before is because I am working more hours than I am used to...so getting home later and starting earlier. End of!

:s

 

[Maz]

I knew what you were saying Mike lol

The violins wernt for you

 

[Gouldy]

I know it's not a competition mike!

It's abit of fun.

Have you finished for chrimbo now then?

 

[Mike]
