[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4369331, member: 77939"] 17 yrs and close? Not really. 13 years, especially if you've got your eye on the clock will be eternity. Now, You my friend need distractions. I have lived for the weekend for 40 years. Raced motocross for decades and still do. I have an airplane and(pilots license) and mechanics license. Always talk and be around that kind of thing. Always have your next trip/vacation planned, dreamed of. I buy and restore old motorbikes and always have a couple around and always searching for parts and such. Distractions. The great pay always allowed me to experience things that most on this planet dream about. Plan B. Quit. There are 8 billion people on this planet that don't work at UPS. But be careful to think they don't have their own problems. I looked at it this way: The job sucks and we work for and in a system that is a giant meat grinder physically and mentally. But....it pays very well and all that. I have admired folks that said "I quit", many have regrets and come back, some fade away and die quickly in a different kind of hell. A 22.3 job means you still work for the same A-wholes and in and around the system/culture-negative us vs. them. Feeders changes the scenery but working at night is a whole other subject. You still could quit and move and start over. Around here, part timers get feeders with virtually no time in. Remember every move can and will have consequences intended or otherwise. Get promoted. Join em. Don't reject this so quickly. It has possibilities like being able to relocate and jobs you don't even realize/ exist. Life has a way of changing, sometimes unexpectedly. Sometimes wonderfully and sometimes awfully. Parents and kids and all of those things. My career has seemed to change about every 15 years in profound ways like classifications by seniority and then some by economical and structural changes to the company. Remember, there could be big changes in 13 years. Look around. In California especially. In the end, you don't have to work at UPS. It is a voluntary/free decision. I found a way to embrace or really compartmentalize it as just part of my life. And then reaped the benefits and bounty it provided....like a garden. Change your attitude and the days will fly by.
