Ooooh...Aahhhh... 25 year patch!..Fancy Smancy!
Your center must be more organized than most. I just trash my old ones.I have 3 sets of summer and winter.
We are required to turn in the old ones before they will hand us the new ones.
I had about 3 trash bags of uniforms when I retired, plus the stuff I found buried in the back of closets later. I kept them waiting for UPS to ask for them back until I finally tossed them out.
I was cleaning out my closet in that photo, it didn't include about four jackets. I took a couple of bags and turned them in, I need to get rid of some more.
I did not turn all my unis in when retired. saved some for halloween . last year got a ton of candy.
Are you finally thinking of retirement?
I think about it all the time. I will top out on my pension in January and I can still stick money in my 401K for one more year. If I found another job that I would enjoy doing more I would file the paperwork now. I usually go on the road four days a week, I have been slowing down a little bit. I still usually run scratch, I had a decent time study done on my route. No pickups and about 95% residential. I'm still having fun, I have always enjoyed working. I'm not in any great hurry. I'm looking at options like moving to Central America at the present time.
Why I don't want Saturday ground to be a thing, some of us have weekend gigs...It would be really cool if you could do a strip act, on the pole, at the club wearing your browns.

It's your life. Do what makes you happy.No, I have over six figures in investments, no car notes, and I keep a few thousand as a minimum balance in my checking account. Money has never been a problem with me. When I started with UPS as a 17 year old, I always had money in my pocket, I never asked for a single penny from my parents since then. I simply enjoy keeping busy. I volunteer at my church, a local state park, and I help needy people with home repairs. Some people might think I'm crazy, I don't care.
Do yourself a favor------retire and enjoy life.
