Disagree. I worked a job that was 13.50 office time and 16.50 job site time. I would have made 45K that year, if I'd stayed with the company. Do the math.

Now I'm salaried at significantly more, working fewer hours and doing work I enjoy the hell out of.

All it cost me was my job! I was getting ready to quit anyways. Hired at Fry's no more than a week later.

Yeah, and I'm sure no less than 1,000 people at UPS thought their computer now had a virus. :thumbleft:

The guy was pretty mad. He told me I cost them thousands of dollars and servers had to be fixed and some crap. I didn't believe any of it. He brought up stuff about cyberterrorism and the law. I think he was a fool.

USPS is good for sure. Even shipping international. They get it out of the country generally in a day or two no matter how you ship it. The Syrian post office system on the other hand...

A very good friend of mine works for UPS as a loader and part time driver and tells me all kinds of horror stories. Small packages fall off the belts and get lost in the machinery all the time. The loaders, unloaders, drivers, etc etc manhandled the shit out of the packages, they don't care, and neither does UPS apparently. He tells me about plasma and LCD TVs that come through all the time. They're easy to spot because they have little dye packs on all the corners that turn red if the box has been mishandled, and all of them are always red. The list goes on and on. If I ever ship anything now, I make sure I package the hell out of it, knowing how they treat stuff.

UPS is still the only shipper that i've recieved packages with foot prints ontop of the box before.

USPS has been the most reliable for me and generally the fastest -

Dude! Me too!

I think I got you beat though.... A package of blinds with tire tracks on them. :la:

I couldn't believe they still tried to deliver them. Made for a pretty smooth insurance claim though.

Bullshit.
If anything, they just had to go through and disable "net send", so nobody else could go in and scare hell out of them.

If anything, you may have uncovered a vulnerability. (If it, in fact, is.)
