lionkingcmslFirst, thanks to all that sent me money for gas. It really did help. :=3
Well, the interview didn't happen on Wednesday, as the interviewer had an emergency he had to take care of. So the interview was rescheduled for today.
I arrived an hour early, for as they say in the railroad industry: If you're on time you're late, but if you're early you're on time.
The UPS people seemed glad to hear me say that, as they hold on-time performance as a religion.
The interviewer is a fellow model railroader and we hit it off pretty good. This location is one of their freight centers, so no little brown trucks, but semi box vans. He explained about the hours and needing forklift experience. I told him the hours won't bother me and I used to run forklifts at a couple of other jobs. He seemed apologetic about the pay they were offering, $12.00/hour to start and that it was no where near my old salary. I quipped it is better than what I'm making now, nothing per hour.
He said they want to hire three people and they would get back to me next week or so.
This means I'm still in a holding pattern. :=/

You may want to check on that, since you're in New Jersey, and Verizon's headquarters is in New Jersey and all.
