Today i was caught stealing from my work.... well not today.... i had been stealing from ups for a while. I was hired in November of last year and i had been stealing stuff since about january. I'm a loder, so i can get up to possibly 2500 packages in 5 hours. I usually fill 3 if not 4 trailers with packages every night. Some of them come to you with a flap already open from the belt or something so you get tempted. Plus when your loading and the packages are backed up 100 feet it kinda gets frustrating. it was just a few things now and then but yesterday i went and did the stupedist thing and opend a box of lay's potato chips and ate a bunch of bags of chips and left the bags in the trailer... to be found when they are unloaded.
Some guy from security came and took me up to an office in our building and began questioning me. I was totally honest with him, telling him everything that i took, and when, and how, and what not. I had a union "representative" there to advize me what the union should have me do. They told me not to put anything in writing and not sign anything.... But the guy who was questioning me was saying that he was going to call the police if i didnt make a statement in writing.... after the police are involved it is not a union issue anymore; he said. and i would probably be arrested.
...The guy had pictures....
So i put a statement in writing saing everything that i took when, how,m blah, blah.. i said that i still have the things at home that i took, and that i would return the items and that i would be willing to pay for the chips that i consumed...
He told me that BECAUSE of my honesty he was not going to call the police.
He wanted me to bring everything that i stole back to him tomorrow by noon.
I am as of now out of service until a supervisor or a union rep sais that i can come back...or not....They told me to call on Sunday.... when the next week starts.
I feel like the biggest loozer that ever walked the planet.
Gina doesnt want to talk to me.... frankly i wouldnt be suprised if she didn't want to be with a klepto anymore...
rent is due on the first....
have a good night
