    Default Where to look?

    As many of you know, I'm leaving for USMC boot in February...and I'm about to be leaving the job I'm with for some un-mentioned reasons that I don't really have a choice but to leave... Nonetheless, I'll need a place to work at LEAST through the holidays, and probably up til the end of January to pay off as much of my student loan, credit cards, and holiday shopping as possible before I go...

    Anyone know of good places to check? I was thinking the UPS warehouse, but I've heard it's not a good place cuz of the Union and crap. Thought about FedEx, but I don't think they have any "seasonal" openings...

    Anyone know where to look, or can anyone throw me a bone?

    So I've heard... I've heard basically there's a super just watchin' you like a hawk and pressuring you to work harder and faster constantly...

    I worked at German Auto Parts out in Norcross doing that kinda ****....with a super over my just always riding my ass and giving me ****. I snapped on day, cursed him out, and just walked outta there. **** wasn't worth 10/hr to me to be treated like ****, and always being insulted. **** sucked...

    Pretty much. The guy basically just stands up on a overpass in the warehouse and yells at everyone with a megaphone. I'd pass on UPS if I were you.

    If you're just looking for seasonal work, then it shouldn't be too hard to find a temporary job.

    Vick throws things other than footballs...especially when it has to do with dogs. As for whoever is posted...I've not heard anything of him throwing anything but footballs as of yet.
