[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 437637, member: 9789"] I survived 36 Peaks with UPS, some were easier than others. I do believe that a distinction has to be made between [B]"just a job" [/B]and a [B]"career"[/B]. A career is a job or type of occupation that you hold for a long period of time. So, those of you who believe you "just have a job" and have been around for 10 years really have a career. It is important to realize that! But it is just as important to realize that work should stay at work even though it will occasionally filter through to your personal life. It is very difficult to filter it out completely. Just the fact that we are on the Brown Cafe talking about this shows that you do not leave it at work completely. O One of the reasons I chose my handle "UPS Lifer"! LOL UPS is your family away from home and the way to make it work for you is to treat it like you treat your family. If you have a blowout at home with your spouse, children or parents, you eventually talk it out and get back on track. You need to keep the same perspective at work. Always keep your line of communication open and deal with the person who can make your life at work easier. I want you to think about this.... (In your personal life) How long do you stay angry at one of your loved ones? How long do you avoid or give your loved one the silent treatment? At some point in time communication needs to move forward. Combative communication is not productive. [B]Winning is not the goal[/B] - [B]creating harmony is what is most important.[/B] Even though this may seem to be a complex process it can be done and you will not only [B]survive[/B] but you will also [B]thrive[/B] in an atmosphere that seems to promote negativity. If you cannot create harmony then seek professional help to get you back on track. A mediator or therapist can do wonders and help you create a life or work atmosphere that is worth living. We all need people to help and give us support and counseling. [/QUOTE]
