Rep Power: 0 | You May Be a UPS Driver If  You watch the clock at work hoping you have more time left to work rather than less.  You think Christmas is a 4 letter word.  Putting on a brown shirt makes you feel like Superman.  You start to yawn when your friends talk about the high cost of their health insurance.  You can't talk to anyone for over a minute without turning and starting to walk away.  You can eat with your fingers no matter how dirty your hands are.  You drink two gallons of water a day in the summer and never have to go to the bathroom.  You get off work before 6 o'clock and it feels like you had the afternoon off.  Your favorite day in the neighborhood is trash day.  You have more brown pens at home than silverware. |

If the employee cars are all backed in; you may be a UPS driver.
If you can eat 4000 calories a day during December and NOT gain weight; you might be a UPS driver.
If the time between 8:30 and 10:30 seems to fly by, you might be a UPS driver.

If you arrange your to-do-list according to loop concept, you might be a UPS driver.
If you avoid left turns at all cost, you might be a UPS driver. |

if you refuse to wear a brown shirt on the weekends and have no brown clothes that don't say UPS on them.
I don't call Christmas a four letter word, I call it the "C word".

- You spend $25,000 on a minivan for your wife, but save $395 by deleting the power steering.
- You draw a trace for your wife to follow in the grocery store.
- Any aspect of your sex life involves a clipboard, a stopwatch, and a written evaluation of your spouse's "methods."
- You teach your children the Ten Point Commentary with the aid of sock puppets and music.
- Your teenagers seek representation from a shop steward whenever you raise your voice or question them about their schoolwork.
- You order brown underwear with a UPS logo from the Cintas catalogue....for your wife.
- You consistently use at least 3 different acronyms in every sentence, and your children know what all of them mean.
- You establish a time allowance for your wife's labor pains and contractions.
- If your wife forgets something at the store and has to go back, you criticize her for making a "duplicate stop."
- You and your family gather in December to hang decorations on your Peak Season Tree.

You might be a UPSer if at a party on the weekend where there are fellow UPSers, you talk about your stops you had on Friday.
