[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 399536"] Sept. 1975. I had graduated from college in June of 74 with a teaching degree. Teachers were a dime a dozen then so I had spent the last year working construction. Better than starving. Anyway I'm sitting at a buddy's picnic table on a warm late Sept. Sat. night drinking beer and shots of Wild Turkey after just having got laid off from my job the day before. I'm 23 and about flat broke with no prospects. Buddy says hey why don't you come work for me for awhile. We're gonna start hiring drivers soon for Christmas. I say you mean that UPS place. He says yeah. It's only until Christmas but at least it's work until the end of the year. He says all you gotta do is drive around and deliver packages. How hard can that be? He had just got promoted to delivery sup. I say yeah, sure, why not? Put me behind the wheel of a package car 3 weeks later, Oct of 75. Retired June of 07. 32 years with 30 years of safe driving all in package car. I still blame the Wild Turkey. [/QUOTE]
