Anyone else struggling to leave warehousing?

​

I tried college, mentorship and different career paths, but usually six months later I ended up leaving I ended up right back into warehousing. I know other guys who tried other things as well yet also end up back in warehousing.

Has anyone else noticed this trend or have experienced it them self?

DAE get weird perceptions on far away different cities are from your own city?

For example, city A is 60 miles (100km) on limited access freeways from me, yet feels so far away. While city B is also the same distance on 2 lane highways but feels closer.

Why do Americans have short memories?

I have noticed in comments Canadians will frequently say that Canadians have long memories and what the USA did to them will last a long time.

Meanwhile, the USA seems to have shorter memories. Like how quickly the USA got along with Germany, Japan and Vietnam relatively shortly after a war with them.

Has anyone else been seeing more bags since the post office deal had been back on?

I swear the bag counts in our trailers have doubled since that deal started up.

Has anyone else noticed this or is this just center specific?

Edit: for centers who don't have small sort for unload, do y'all unload the trailers and send all the bags out then have a giant mess on the docks or dump as many as possible in the trailer?

Edit: for loaders, do y'all love or hate the increase in bags?

Edit: which center have you seen the most bags coming out of now? (Cache seems to be getting worse and Oak Creek would put a semi in a bag if they could)

Back up sensor inconsistentcy?

​

I have a 2014 Ford Explorer and recently have found the back up sensor works 95% of time. Unfortunately the 5% of the time occured when I backed into my roommate black car at 3am. The damage was luckily minor and we both agreed it was nothing that needed to be fixed.

The sensor was working the day before when I was backing out of my works parking lot and it worked fine again when I backed out of the gym parking lot the next day.

Did that 5% fluke just happen to fail at the worst possible time or could the black cars paint mess up the signal? (My roommate suggested that as a possibility).

Edit: or could plastic mess up the signal?

Or as the joke goes "things will always break when you need it the most to work."

Which show do you like better: deadliest catch (2005 to now) or the deadliest job on earth (1999)?

Thom Beers produced both. It's hard to compare a TV series to a single episode, but which show do you think is better?

I think the 1999 version is better because it was more of a documentary. While deadliest catch had been over dramatized. The earlier episodes were less dramatized but still more than the 1999 episode.

What is the funniest/dumbest thing someone has called you about?

What dumb/funny phone call question have you gotten as a meteorologist?

I am NOT a meteorologist, but one I have heard that meteorologists get a laugh at is "can you make sure it does not rain today" (or something like that).

What was the biggest case of a battle that should have easy to win, but someone tipped off the opposing army?

In my history class we learned about Laura Secord walk to warn the British of the pending American army. This led to the British being ready and winning the battle.

Any other cases where the invading army should have won the battle but someone warned the opposing army before?

What is title track for music they use in the opening scene in the 1999 episode?

Technically deadliest job was not true deadliest catch but the same producers went on to make deadliest catch.

Anyway, in the opening scene they play Celtic sounding music but I have never been able to find the title track for it.

Adjusters, how soon do you look into another driver to see if they have drivers insurance?

This occured in Wisconsin. I was involved in a minor fender bender in a parking lot, adjuster is still working on it. But preliminary investigation probably will put me at 100% fault.

Anyway, after the crash I gave the other my insurance info/ contact info. The driver gave me their contact info but not insurance info. They claimed they forgot where they put the card. So I told them to text it over. Two days later I texted them again to ask them for insurance info, they said "you don't need it and I won't give it to you, you were at fault."

In this case, how fast do adjusters check for the NOT at fault driver to see if they were driving without insurance and how would that change my case if it turned out they were driving without insurance?

Why people act so shocked when someone says summer is there least favorite season!

I told my coworkers that summer is my least favorite season. They looked at me like I said I love stabbing cats.

For the record, autumn is my favorite season.

Why does saying you hate summer make people think something is wrong with you?

Edit: a generalization here. But people who work in AC tend to like summer more than people who in non Ac environments.

Which one do y'all hate more: summer or winter?

Where I live summers are usually upper 80s fahrenheit with mid dew points (59 is the average). While winters are teens Fahrenheit with mild winds.

Our drivers are mixed on this topic some hating summer then loving winter and vice versa. I personally think summers are worse to work in, but that's just me.

Which state has the fairest yet most competitive way to qualify for state?

It's state track meet in Wisconsin right now. I was thinking about how Wisconsin does it's qualifications for state and is competitive yet fair it is. (By fair, I mean everybody who runs fast enough/throws far enough has good shot at state). So Wisconsin has 3 divisions for track. D1 for big high schools and D3 for small schools. To qualify in Wisconsin it's the Top placements at Sectionals, D2/D3 have 4 sectionals, hence 16 qualifiers, or if you were top 10in the state. D1 has 8 sectionals with top 3 going, or if you are top 10 in the state. Private schools compete by enrollment division, not any multipliers or promotion by results.

What makes the Wisconsin system good.

  1. 3 divisions meaning small school kids have the same chance to go to state as big city kids.

2.Top 4 from a sectional from the same day. If you peak at the right time, you are set.

  1. Extra qualifier system somewhat exist.

Cons:

  1. Extreme geographic favoring/denying.

  2. No "State champion" per se.

  3. Extra qualifier program had been hit/miss.

  4. Only 1 chance to make it, so a bad sectional means no state appearance. Even if that achievement was state worthy.

Overall view: C+.

What makes it a C+: Geographic favoring. Weak extra qualifiers system.

To make it to an A: better extra qualifier system to balance stronger/weaker sectionals. Allow earlier results to be counted towards a possible state appearance. Have private schools compete at the larger divisions.

What do y'all propose as too which does it the best/fairest way or what my synopsis about Wisconsin?

Edit: by no state champion, a commentator from California was saying having 1 state champion was the true state champion. Not a division state champion.

Why has the USA struggled so much in taking Canada versus other countries?

War of 1812 and the American revolutionary war Canada humiliated the USA when they tried invading. However the USA beat Spain and Mexico with ease. What made Canada so much harder to beat?
