[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1145359, member: 9789"] Not to be flippant, it is all work. If you are the one in charge, everyone is looking at you, sizing you up, asking you questions. There is a certain level of intensity that you have to maintain. An example... As a manager, I was fortunate to be invited to driver Xmas parties. The spouses never get to see you and are checking everything you say or do out. All of a sudden, you get a question out of nowhere about some issue or concern they might have. Other drivers who don't get to talk to you much would seek you out for questions and concerns. You are on display or what is say "in a fishbowl". Honestly, you represent the company and have to be on your best behavior. BO just makes it look easy, he is the best at this! I was more tired coming home after an event like that! One thing I can say to your point is that BO has handlers and they watch everything to shield him from the problems. [/QUOTE]
