So every Friday I go to Barnes and Nobles to check out the new Magazines, etc and get my latte fix. I noticed there's a dude in a UPS Uniform reading Autobiographies, so I start up a conversation and stuff.
-Dude's name is Benjamin, in addition to working at UPS he also is a bartender at WICKED RABBIT (one of the most popping-est Bars in Omaha) On Friday nights, there's usually a line curving around the block of people waiting to get in.
-At UPS he Preloads from 6AM-10AM (all the packages have to scanned in and get barcode labels before getting placed on the truck)
-From 10AM-4PM he drives around Omaha delivering packages. He says most of them are usually under 5 pounds, but occasionally he'll get a 100 pound package he has to hoist over his shoulder
-After he drives back to the Hub and clocks out, he goes to Planet Fitness to workout. He was joking that he's the real life version of Doug Heffernan, minus the dad-bod
-After taking his shower and hopping on the Hydromassage, he heads home to take a power nap. Then wakes back up around 7PM to get ready.
-Dude bartends from 8PM-2AM. He'll have like 2 or 3 shots around 10PM, so by the time he clocks out, his alcohol level is within legal limits to drive home safely.
In addition, he donates Plasma twice a week at OctaPharma. The interesting thing is, he weighs 170 which technically puts him in a lower donation class. To get around this, he goes in wearing a Northface Hoodie with two water bottles in the kangaroo pocket. Dude finesses the system to get paid an extra $100 per month
Now granted, dude is kinda trashy. He admits to smoking weed - The TEAMSTERS Union that pays his UPS benefits sent him to a drug rehab two years ago, cause he was smoking dabs which he said is like a concentrated form of a joint. The counselor at the Rehab center pretty much explained to him, that Dabs are like the crack cocaine in terms of smoking weed, so now he Vapes CBD strains that have a lower THC percentage. Also he has gauged ears, lip/eyebrow rings, Tats on his Legs and Arms that he covers with Iverson style compression sleeves. But, if you met him you would instantly like the guy.
Now, the crazy thing is he reads an Autobiography every week, and has done so since 2006. This particular day, he was reading "The Beautiful Ones" (Prince's memoir he was writing b4 he died). I was quizzing him on the few Prince songs I knew of, and he was able to tell me not only what year they came out on, but the story behind them and everything. Dudes knowledge game was crazy.
So anyways, I thought this was kind of interesting cause most millenials work part time Jobs and can't handle the stress of a 40 hour work week, then you got dudes like Benjamin who can do 90-100 hour weeks with no problem. During peak season, he was driving straight from Wicked Rabbit to UPS, and taking naps during the lunch break.
Have you guys met anybody like this?
