You need help...!I hate waiting for my center manager to put out the staffing sheet 3 mins after start time everyday and punching in late, and have to make sure to tell the glorified clerk in the office to fix my timecard every night. The constant stupid msgs all day. The customers who have the balls to call up and complain that their pkg is in front of their garage door. Well jackass, you don't clear any snow and just drive into your garage. Not walking thru 3 ft of snow to drop your pkg at your door. Lazy v.
You need help...!

Ok just throwing it out there. Not suicidal, not maniacal, not totally in the dumps. But do you ever just feel so down about going to work?
I used to enjoy it so much. And part of it could be, being on a depressing route. Now every day is more snow, more ice, colder than ever has been, getting home late. And I so know. Because we make x number of dollars per hour, we do not have any right to be down, we should just be running around with dollar signs in our eyes. We have a job, and paid no price for it. We should never be sad, cold, tired, hungry, grumpy, or rude. WE should be just a happy smiling puppet, constantly.
If I am the only one, so be it. But there has to be a few of us, who are just saying, Ok some sunshine would be nice. And someone besides me, who is just not quite as happy as usual. We have people getting stuck on flat level roads, and getting Union letters. Yes I know wipe your arse with them, but it takes its toll.
Once you are on a road, you cannot turn around, you are committed. You cant use a driveway, coz you will be stuck there too, not that any are usable.................I was stuck the other day, took me 20 minutes to get loose. As I put my tire chains on. and I finally got loose as one of them shot off, never to be seen again. I told myself, If I cant get out, I am calling someone to come get me, call the center and tell them to come get unstuck, and I am retiring today. Its just gotten so unbelievably hard, to stay positive, thoughts, besides "just think how much money you are making....."
i would move to where its sunny! thats one of the great things about america!!!
Yeah, actually. This pending storm in the works here right now with more 0 temps almost makes me want to cry because I'm just that sick of it. And it stresses me out with driving more than anything because I'm constantly worried about getting stuck or something.
On the plus side this looks to be the last snowfall in the ten-day outlook so hopefully it's done, and in another two weeks it'll be time for DST so it'll be light out much longer. Just gotta bear with it another week.
That's what always gets me going again. Need more daylight, winter just sucksDST starts this weekend.
You summed up pretty well how i have been feeling since OCT-NOV. I had some personal issues also(but have learned through the years how to dis connect from them while at work). For me UPS has always been a roller coaster ride.....Times of ups and downs....knowing that when things where down soon ups would follow......This winter has really strained my theory. It has been miserable for waaaay to long. I have learned to adapt to the constant negative conditions,but it has made a effect on me generally. I know it will pass,but the waiting has beatin me up!Ok just throwing it out there. Not suicidal, not maniacal, not totally in the dumps. But do you ever just feel so down about going to work?

This winter has been the worst winter in my 28 years driving. I haven't seen bare ground, let alone bare pavement on some driveways, since early January. Yesterday I had something happen that cheered me up a little. This customer's driveway could be used as a luge run and is a challenge even in the summer let alone being under a couple of inches of ice. Common sense would tell me to E.C. it and be on my merry way. However, I had used E.C.on two of her packages and yesterday there were three more. I cleated up, bagged four of the smaller packages, and tucked the last box under my arm and made my way down the long winding drive. About half way there I almost slipped and fell but I kept going. I finally got to the house, knocked, and started recording the packages. The lady answered the door handed me a ten dollar bill and thanked me profusely for making the trek down her driveway. After the crap winter we have had it felt so good to be appreciated by someone.
They issued us cleats that fit over our boots. They are okay on thin coatings of ice but a thick ice pack is still hard to navigate.Don't know how you guys deal with all that snow and ice.......
Glad I don't have to.
