[QUOTE="Anonymous 10, post: 1010828, member: 26082"] My grandfather was a man. He could out work me out love me and out right do anything in life better than me. He knew about sacrifice me as he was a fireman saving lives and when he was of for 48 hours he roofed houses put up gutters , aluminum siding doors and screen doors when he wasent at the fire house. When he retired from those things he took a job at Purilator and was a teamster for ten years then drove for Sherwin Williams for five years. He collected pensions from all three put eight kids through Catholic schools and five through college. He also took care of his mother in law and was a great man. He knew sacrifice and this is what I think of when this place beats me down. Most of the time when I think about what I might be missing out of in this job I think about my grandpa Bernie and how tired he was or about the things he missed out on or would rather have been doing. Then I pick myself up and do it. If I need to be of I exercise my right to an eight hour request and I make the things that I need to make thanks to a good union contract. As far as the things I do at ups I think about the right thing to do there. Being honest is at the formost even if it makes me unpopular with some. Doing the right thing isn't always fun or easy or popular but it's what your grandfather and a older harder better generation would do. They built this country for us and were a good role model for us to emulate and learn from. Some of us aren't going to have a life like we want it but we can make the best of it and flourish.
