This is how it breaks down at UPS: (at least it did for me)
1. 1st thru 20th year -----------flies by
2. 21st thru 25th year----------seems to take about 10 years
3. 26th thru 29th year ---------seems to take FOREVER
4. 30th year--------------------every day is an eternity
once you retire-----------------time flies again

Dog years depend on the breed of the animal.
Big dogs die younger than small dogs.
I must just be a small dog.
In June, I will be 56yrs old and I have to meet the same standards as any 21yr old driver.
I wonder who will win in this dogfight?

And each year get easier. HAH!
Rod has the right idea but the years are off a bite for me.
@ 48 years old and 10 years as a driver I could actually deliver more packages with better speed. Now I am 59 and closing in on my 20th full year @ a Snail's pace. Parts of the body broken, parts bent and the rest just plain ole tired. I honestly do not believe I can last another 5 years to get to 25 and out. So, for me, the company wins. Under today's conditions and expectations I don't see a 21 year old just beginning a driving career making it to 30 years.
Good luck you you Sat, I hope you get to whatever magic number you deem appropriate for your goals.

No magic involved, just survival til the bitter end.
The only magic numbers that can help me meet my goals would be on a winning Texas Lottery ticket.

One of my co workers and her husband bought a old house and
fixed it up. Come to find out it was once a rooming house many,
many years for railroad workers. In one of the walls they found
a list of "House Rules". I'll try to remember a few of them...
No Women Allowed
When the bell rings for supper, be there
No spitting on the floor during meal times
No fist fights in the hallways
Drinking allowed only in your room
Maybe someone should start up a retirement home for worn out
UPSers
And with all the foreclosures going on, a resurgence of boarding
houses might not be a bad idea...

Definately have to be single story with all the bad knees. Perhaps the house could be close to a favorite orthopedic surgeon or chiropractor. And lots of Lazy Boys. And the list of rules would be....
Amen to that. When I retire and move far, far away, stairs will be a deal breaker when I'm looking at homes.
"Oh I'm going to stay,
where you sleep all day,
where they hung the jerk,
that invented work,
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains..."
Sounds like a good thread for "Life After Brown"!
