[QUOTE="Brownnblue, post: 78361, member: 1941"] I guess I would fall somewhere in-between. I have been a driver for almost 20 years. I have made the majority of my kids school functions, however I was usually late and always had to come in my browns. This would not have been so bad, except after the function there is always someone who wants to have the "I see you work for UPS, how hard do you really work" conversation. I also coached the kids soccer teams for a number of years, games were on the weekend so that was usually not a problem, but the hoops I had to jump through to have a weekday practice were comical. I actually had to save a website on my browser that told you the exact time of sunset, then plan my practices accordingly. Many times we had to practice right at the tip of the parking lot; the parents would actually park close and turn on their high beems so we could finish. I think the biggest problem is that the late hours and constant harrassment just get eat away at you; no matter how hard you try not to let it in to your family life it seems to slip in. Minimize that, and you'll be OK. [/QUOTE]
