[QUOTE="chipolapitch, post: 303549, member: 13803"] [SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred]I admire your allegence to the company. I used to feel that way also, but let something happen to you and see if the company is as devoted to you as you are to it. We all need to thank God for our blessings, but the UPS of 2008 is not the UPS I started for in the early eighties. Everyone is like a disposable razor, get a little dull and get ready to get trashed.
