[QUOTE="oldupsman, post: 312766"] I 'hit the wall' about 9 months before I retired. Came back from a 3 week vacation after Labor Day. Was coming up on my 32nd year, all full time in package car. Was planning on staying another 2 or 3 years. Now I had done that 3 week vacation thing for years so it wasn't the reason. I can't even tell you the reason. I just came home that night, sat down on the porch with my wife, who had made us a couple of drinks, looked at her and said, "I don't want to do this anymore." And my lovely wife who had been a partner in this UPS adventure looked at me and said laughing, "Well then, friend* it, retire, we'll get by. And the next day I called the union hall and got the process started. But you know what? Just to show you how brainwashed I was I couldn't retire before peak. I felt like I'd be deserting a sinking ship.I always had a good relationship with my fellow workers, both management and union. And even now I won't badmouth UPS. I'm a great believer in a positive attitude. It was a tough place to work but it all paid off in the end. [/QUOTE]
