My Circle of Honor Pin does say "25 Years of Safe Driving" and it has three little chip diamonds on it. The pin for 40 years is just a UPS pin with nothing on it, no thought at all went into it.

Perhaps the thought was that no one would be foolish enough to stick around for 40 years.

That rottie looks the part!!

Can you imagine how much earlier you would get done if you weren't spending so much time playing Dog Whisperer?

Maybe dedication, loyalty and dependability is something you don't understand.

I am very much aware of those terms as I live them on a daily basis.

30 years is more than enough.

I couldn't get a full stroke on a club to save my life. Or if I did, I would be in a while lot of pain. I can get most of the swing on a softball bat but only in slow motion for demonstration purposes. I full swing would cripple me and have me in tears. For now.

Soon.

Nobody was expected to survive that long.

Each monetary situation is different.......who are you to say what is enough for someone else?

...which is why you set aside money so that you can retire on your terms...

True, but life changes and things happen. With us, our kids, our parents.

Absolutely.

I got divorced but still managed to help put two kids through college, walk one down the aisle and still set aside money for retirement.

Life can get in the way but that should not be a reason to not plan for retirement.

Scratch is only 57 and started working here when he was only 17. 40 years is one heck of an accomplishment but at some point you need to move on.

At some point, you need to mind your own business.

We both know that's not going to happen.

There are a lot of drivers like that, no end in sight.
In my center you'll see drivers with 10, 15 years in and have no plans for retirement. I guess they think they'll never get old or might win the lotto.

 

[mike1646]

And others that don't want to be home and love UPS

Right.

Because pulling up to the stop, closing the door, laying on the horn, and waiting for the customer to put their dog inside 50 times a day would be soooo much faster.

Got any more brilliant observations you'd like to share?

This was waiting for me tonight after I got out of the shower. My 1rst grade aged daughter did it.
