[QUOTE="BMWMC, post: 1003268, member: 37461"] I get all of that from my work now as a package drive. I like the dogs that I play with and give treats to. Watching the kids grow from small children to adults. Knowing everyone in town and them knowing me. Seeing people gratitude and joy when you bring that item they have been waiting for. The cookies, pie, Christmas gifts, and other treats people give you. The parties and function your invited to. People whine about the job and can't wait to leave only to realize they never had it so good. What a job really! Sure I don't want to go to work some days and even some weeks. But, nothing beats the view of autumn mornings driving down a country road or the smell of new fallen snow. Dodging kids slinging snowballs at you and laughing all the way when the miss. The friends and acquaintances at work have been enriching and I've watched them grow old with me. At the rate of pay and benefits I make and my age 50+ where oh where wold I find comparable work? Its hard work but that never bothered me. I like to work hard and physical. It keeps the weight off and allows me to eat some pasties or enjoy fine wine without blowing up like a balloon. Why would I ever quit this job? [/QUOTE]
