[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 247090, member: 1664"] The worst peak is always the next one. Anticipation of the worst always seems to get the blood flowing. The weather turns bad. The work gets insane. We sigh and laugh when it's over. Then, we worry all year about the next peak. It really isn't any worse than January, when they cut routes down and double up on drivers because their isn't enough work.(what a crock of BS) How about Peak stories that are positive? Here is one of mine.( If I am highjacking this thread by being positive, let me know) Older woman on my route just lost her husband. She told me her daughter wasn't going to be able to come home for Christmas, but was sending her a gift through UPS. I told her I would get it to her as soon as I got it. She was very lonely and depressed. The package arrived two days before Christmas. The weather turned to $#!*. In this part of Texas we get ice storms not much snow. The center manager sent a message out to shut down at dark. I got in my personal car and drove 20 miles in the storm over ice covered wooden bridges way the friend in the country and drove up to her house at about 9 o'clock. She was home alone and started crying when she saw me standing there with her gift. She then jumped my ass for bringing it to her in this weather. She tried to make out that it wasn't that important. It meant alot to her and it meant alot to me ,that I could bring that kind of comfort to someones life through just a little selfless effort. The bitch was getting back home, but I made it. [/QUOTE]
