Wrote a song inspired by my years at UPS. I think many of you will relate. :)

[Songwritersoul]

Hi everyone,

My name is Steven W. I'm a driver out of Tualatin, Or and have been with UPS for 27 long years. Overall, I'm very grateful for this job as it pays well and has great benefits, but like probably all of us, there have been chunks of time in our careers where we were slightly less than happy with our jobs. About 10 years ago, when I was pretty unhappy with the constant overloads and being reminded of over allowed hours on a daily basis, I was inspired to write a song. I originally had this idea based off of the Married with children character Al Bundy, but because I was hating my job so much at the time, it became a blend of Al Bundy and my life. I finally recorded it with my first complete album that I just finished and wanted to share it with other UPS'ers because I think many of you will relate and maybe get a laugh out of it.
The song is titled, "Livin' the dream" and you can listen to it here:

cheers,
Steve

Hi, Steve.

Do not use your real name as your user name.

That is all.

Thanks for the tip, but I don't think I will come here much to vent about UPS etc. I do enough bitching at work and usually have it out of my system by the time I get home.

Trust me. Change it.

If you have been there for 27 years you should know enough to keep your identity a secret. Expect to be called into the office any day now to explain your song.

Lol. Sure, the list goes on, but this one was written by a UPS driver.

Post it on tumblr and then post a link so we can listen to your song.

I don't think he gets the point if he continues to use his real name. Or he just doesn't understand feedback.

Instant song lyrics:

Runner gunner all day
Gettin' no sleep at night
Worryin' bout stops yet to come
There's no end in sight
No no no lunch for me
Gotta' heavy load you see

I'm a runner gunner runner gunner

 

[watdaflock?]

Make a bunch of "weird Al//Rodney Carrington" type songs related to UPS. Sell them as cds and all of the yahoo rednecks around here will buy them ASAP.

Write the lyrics for:
The receptionist says it's mine

Walkin' in, she looks so fine
Gotta' look again as I make her sign
Its for me, its all mine
The receptionist says its mine

I would rather choke myself to death than hear a song about UPS. But thats just me and i am a jerk.
