I started July 17th 2007 at UPS. For the first six months, I was a consultant just trying to work my way up to get hired after six months. On the sixth month, I got hired and even got a higher position. I was estatic at the time since it was a huge pay raise for me. The pay raise resulted in many good things happening including getting my own apartment and being able to afford my trip. Then in August 2008 it hit me that I wanted more out of life so I began my budget hungry ways saving for the ultimate life experience backpacking the world. Now I’m down to my last two days working at UPS. I remember saying to myself a few months ago how I still have to wait so long but now it seems like it came up so fast.
- I’ll always remember the Ultimate Frisbee days. Every week (Usually Wednesdays or Thursdays) after work. Intense work out with plenty of injuries. I looked forward to every game.
- Golds Gym in Paramus. It was a ritual every lunch period for one hour to work out. The peanut butter buster protein shakes were out of this world. I had never been healthier in my life.
- Before I had joined Golds Gym, bunch of us would go out to lunch to new exciting places. The foods we ate and the people we met during lunch made the experience unforgetable.
- The people. That is the number one thing I will never forget. Some are long time time friends now and others I may never see again but one thing is for sure, it was great meeting every single person here.
Thank You
Zeenat: Wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for your training. I need to come down to ATL and visit! Our talks always made my day.
Judah: It was never the same here since they let you go. I’m glad we continued to be good friends.
Justin: You gave me tons of inspiration when I first decided this trip. And awesome motivation at the gym.
Kota: Our lunches and breaks were epic. You introduced me to so many people here.
Steve: You introduced me to the apartment complex. I got a great deal out of that thanks to you. Don’t let the PLD’s kill you man!
Jeff: Been awhile and you were only here for a short period of time but damn it was fun!
Alyssa: Although we don’t talk much anymore, my first month or two here was awesome because of you. It was basically at least a 5 hour day of Microsoft Communicator with just you. We had great convos.
My entire group: Gerri, Bob, Hiram, Debbie, Fran, Aneesah, Janet, Kevin, Aileen, Dennis, and Gail.
Other groups: Guy, Nathan, Theresa, and Niket.
And to everyone else who I may have forgotten. You all made this experience working here very interesting and entertaining.
I’ll never forget any of you 
PS: The work itself I’ll easily forget though lol
. DT just ripped the place apart from the minute we got in till the end. Only the strong survive and were left with Argenis, Teresa, and I 10 hours later. After confusing the wrong Days Inn hotel we had a BRG for, we decided to crash at Argenis’s place with some tunes and Xbox. I couldn’t stay awake any longer falling asleep in every possible place I could sit down so we headed out to the correct Days Inn hotel and crashed. A night that will never be forgotten.
