The internet finally kicked in, and everything is back to normal at LLR headquarters.



Today my story assignment was to ride-along with UPS as they rushed to deliver tons of holiday packages. Fighting off my motion sickness, I rode shotgun in a UPS van with "Abbie" the coolest driver around.

It was kinda like a family-friendly PG version of Training Day, in which I played Ethan Hawke to his Denzel Washington (without all the crazy PCP and murder stuff...we didn't have time..there were just too many packages). He showed me the ropes and I tried to keep up.

Jump in the truck. Jump out of the truck. Jump in the truck. Jump out of the truck. After about 30 minutes of that I was so close to getting sick. And there were several times I nearly fell out the side door - which would've sucked after i signed a rather detailed i-will-not-sue-ups-release form. But, it was pretty fun and I turned out a fun little nat sound pkg. Here's the video link in case you're interested: UPS Workers Keeping Busy
