I'm still delivering Amazon prime packages and I blame all of you. I'm a ups driver on route who's working until 10 tonight. AMA!

If it makes you feel any better take fact that your technically santa claus for today. So your technically living a thousands children's dreams.

currently on a frozen rural road that hasn't gotten deliveries in the past 3 days.... can confirm that I am Santa right now.... and it it's pretty special. though sometimes I feel like the crampus

also....Santa is real and it's not me. he starts delivering later

I bet he secretly orders that stuff and just makes you deliver it. Lets be honest its more efficient.

that makes me feel awesome.... I'm like a privately contracted elf

I'll clarify. I'm a holiday helper riding shotgun. basically temp employee/ elf. no driving today just jogging.

I gave my UPS delivery guy and mail carrier some cookies and a tip today. Thank you for your work!

that's a very generous gesture. I would love a tip I'm sure they were extremely grateful. it's a hard day when you want to be home sipping 'nog with the family.

No Question here

I work in an electronic store and I had to work today too!

This sucks so bad and I really feel you man. The good thing on my job is that it isn't cold and I can eat stuff with my co-workers.

We invited every package guy that came in to eat that shit with us too, gave him a calendar for free and a coffee to go because they are doing an awesome job for us the whole year.

I really hope that someone will be nice too and give you a little present too.

Blaming us/me is okay. I deserve it.

this is really heartwarming thanks for being awesome

phone is getting low on battery and don't worry I'm not driving or allowing anything down. a answer more when I get out and Merry Christmas/ happy holidays

Where's my package?

in transit.... Amazon makes the guarantees

Whats the biggest thing you delivered so far?

pottery barn furniture... one piece came in 5 boxes 120 lbs each...30 yard walk down that driveway as I recall

Safe travels! Also, what do you think about the Amazon Drone idea? Would it work?

I don't think for a long time. they have a preferential shipping rate and weather conditions/ liability issues seem like huge hurdles. how does a drone get a signature? or avoid hackers/ poachers for that matter. though I am sure they'd love to replace workers if it would save them some nickels.

Also, I can see some people in the southern states treating them like games and try shooting them down

with a large financial incentive to boot.

How much are you making per hour?

9.50... time and a half for anything over 8 hours... no break

I assume your driver has banged some lonely housewife in the past? Makes jokes about "Delivering the package"?

actually contrary to the overall culture of sexism in a make dominated work environment my driver is an awesome guy who loves his wife. but yes, the package jokes do provide endless entertainment for almost everyone I know.

male* not make.. hard to edit

This is my husband's first peak season as a cover driver! I'm expecting him no later than 8 - tell your driver to move his ass. ;)

What hub?

probably best to keep it undisclosed... but in the frigid tundra of the northeast

How do you do it without killing yourselves of frostbite in those damn package cars? We're way down south; it's 70 degrees today. You have all my sympathies. It's a lot harder job than most people imagine.

Hope the rest of your day goes smoothly!

thanks for your kind words! at best it gets to about 40 in here.. but when we open the doors we lose it all. layers! and wool... lots of wool.

You ever get a package that was vibrating? And just think to yourself yup, dildo.

the best presents are the ones that keep on giving

Goodness. Happy holidays. No question, but thank you.

happy holidays to you too!

Do they make people work on christmas day? (amazon)

I don't know if they do... I know that local hubs aren't doing pickups today and most have off tomorrow.... they might though since they probably have semis and planes nearby.

At the hub where you work, do they ever send seasonal workers to deliver part of your rout using a golf kart and a lawn mower trailer?

they often drop people off in an urban area with a trailer full of unsorted boxes and a handcart. I think they wish they had a golf cart.

I'm not that bitter just reflecting on the amount of prime duct tape I've seen... it's in my dreams now :: shudder::
