[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1069953, member: 14176"] Several peaks back I was delivering late into the evening. The weather was terrible and I was feeling quite sorry for myself. As I approached an apartment delivery, I noticed the package was from a military base. As the lady who answered the door was signing, I inquired as to whether the package was from a soldier. She explained that it was indeed, that it was her husbands last civilian articles as he was recently deployed to Iraq. Upon hearing this I asked her to tell her husband "thank you for his service" from the UPS man. She took a step back to the laptop on the coffee table and turned it towards me and said, "tell him yourself". He was on Skype at that very moment. That really put things into perspective for me and I often reflect on it when I think I'm having a bad day at work, peak or not. [/QUOTE]
