[QUOTE="PhatAzz, post: 1459434, member: 15930"] I became ELIGIBLE a couple of weeks ago. Decided to stay through peak and wait until March for the stock. Vacation starts in January - take a week, work a week, take a week, work a week until March. Two weeks off for Bike Week. :cool-very: A month or so ago, I did have two different drivers in the same week bring their route back halfway through the day. I decided that even if I got moved to another - less stressful - center, that I would still be out on the car next July and August in 100 degree heat. I decided that I was done. I've always planned on working until I was 65-70 anyway, but I'm just tired of 13 hour days. Career change is already in progress. Resume' complete and interviews with headhunters scheduled for mid January. My biggest dilemma is that I've already got 4 separate week long motorcycle trips planned for next year. I will not cancel them. Hopefully I can negotiate / trade off the fact that I don't need health insurance for some vacation time off. I've gotta keep my SS wages up for the next 10 years or get screwed on Social Security. I have had a different attitude about work. I still do my job and still require the drivers to do theirs. That's something that's in most UPSer's DNA. It is nice to get up every morning and go to work because I want to. [/QUOTE]
