    I wish i knew then what i know now. There's some certs you can get where you can still get a job with a pension and barely do
    anything.

    Any idea what those jobs are?

    I would like to get one myself.

    Seriously ... something to talk to my kids about.

    Hello fellow bean connoisseur !
    [beans & rice recipe omitted]
    hope you find some value here.

    -Tinman.

    Overall this is the same process I use, but the commentary on seasoning
    was incredibly helpful. I've started pre-mixing spice blends, and I always
    welcome new ones.


    Thank you!

    I don't know about UPS proper, but when I go deliver parcels to my local logistics agency, they are always up their necks in work. I rarely see anybody idling. Everybody is loading, unloading or classifying parcels.

    well i worked at ups as a part time job in like 2017. it wasnt that bad but it was certainly a weird place to work at. you could only work part time and if you were there forever you could work 2 part time jobs and be full time. also the start time was different every day. the breaks were like 5 mins.

    this is a loading position, not everyone at ups is a driver. it takes forever to be a driver. they have 100% covered insurance and will reimburse you for ANY schooling. they said even if it was basket weaving.

    anyways, ups isnt that bad. being a ups driver isnt bad too.

    Thanks.

    My backup job has been the US postal service.

    With all the talk of cuts I hope its still there down the road.

    A foundry sounds interesting but I don't think there is one in my area.

    I've thought about applying at USPS.

    Hi phigan,

    I don't work at USPS. When I say my 'backup job' I mean it in a way like you, I've always wanted to apply. Right now I have a job. I work in IT but IT is always laying people off and sometimes it gets tiring to always have that worry every 6 to 9 months.

    take care
