What if it Snows?

Just ordered the summer C crown fedora in Ivory— we can be like Jake and Elwood now @Opus

 

7 and 3/8... Hmm, same size as a cabbage I bought yesterday...

 

Who the hell measures their cabbage?
Your veracity is getting weak. LOL

 

That's okay. You should hear the way Chinese girls talk about white guys. That's really hilarious. Not very complimentary but hilarious none the less.

 

Wallboard welfare we call it…….

 

The fine points UPS got in the deal...Newman provides details on new deal with Teamsters

We gained the ability to schedule some of our regular full time package car drivers Tuesday through Saturday, in addition to Monday through Friday,” he said. “This was enabled through converting the approximately 13,500 weekend drivers, known previously as 22.4 drivers, to regular full time package car drivers. This allows us to continue to deliver for our customers on Saturday, which is increasingly important in today's environment. This change also enables us to end the force six-day punch overtime that impacted some of our employees, which will provide more work life balance for our people and reduce our overtime costs on Saturday. Speaking of weakened services, we protected our ability to support customers with a Sunday delivery option through SurePost. And we agreed to redirect more SurePost packages gradually over the life of the contract to ups for delivery, which works in concert with our delivery density initiatives.”

One of the most important aspects of the new contract for UPS, observed Newman, is that the company retains flexibility to implement technology to further drive productivity inside its buildings while also increasing flexibility for seasonal support.

Robert W. Baird and Co. analyst Garrett Holland wrote in a research note that the structure of the wage and benefits increase in the new contract, although front-loaded, allows time for UPS to invest in tech-driven productivity (important flexibility preserved in the deal) aheal, adding that it rewards employees and should further reduce turnover and provide workforce stability.

Following the lead of its primary competitor FedEx, UPS last week announced its own 2024 rate increases this week, which are set to go into effect on December 26.

UPS said its pending rate increases include the following:

· the rates for UPS Ground, UPS Air and International services will increase an average net 5.9%;

· the list of ZIP Codes to which Area Surcharges apply will change; and

· the list of ZIP Codes aligned to certain zones will change

The 5.9% increase matches those previously announced by FedEx.

 

Ah so, Round eye velly funny... Also, the slogan..
"You will never see a Chinese grocer go bankrupt as long as he lives above his store." No commute and ample security...

 

A cabbage soup recipe calls for that size cabbage. Not being a real cook, I am careful to measure ingredients exactly.
Once added 3 tablespoons of chili powder where it meant 3 tea spoons. No more skimming the list and tossing it in...
