I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

It will be up to a week and a half to hear back from UPS as they do a background check and the job would be part time, 15-25 hours a week Sun-Thurs 10am - 5:30pm shifts where you may not always work the full shift, but would work at least 3 hours. He'll need a car quickly as that will be hard to manage pick up and drop off while I am working at it is located 30 min away.

Our wings are not tired

I have a friend from high school who started working for UPS part time when he was probably around 19. He's actually still there, gets really good benefits, and makes a decent wage. It's a union job, so once he makes it past the probation period there's good protection on it. He'll have to turn up on time and do the work, but if he can manage that, then it might be a good place. There is also usually a lot of opportunity to pick up extra hours when they are in their peak season, which is pretty much Mid November through December.

That would be hilarious for people in a shared office -- like, one is the hungry version, one is the Snickers version

That would be hilarious!

I am suspecting tomorrow night I will be totally unable to sleep, between (a) anxiety/anticipation for trip and (b) needing to wake up about 4AM.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Is this Colombia??

Yep, Jesse! I leave Friday morning, and am freaking out over all the things I need/want to do, and also because my desire to pack lightly always wars with my desire to be Totally Prepared.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You could go high concept like the first Infiniti commercial. The one that didn't show the car.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm stuck on Band-Aid brands, 'cause Band-Aid's stuck on me.

You deserve a break today.

Punishingly Intricate

Any other mid-atlanticians remember this 70s commercial song?

Have a great trip, meara!

For whatever reason, I now think the Pillsbury doughboy would be hilarious.
