You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Mine doesn't mind most of the time. We both talk about our days and what happened. Unlike my best friend who literally tells his wife I don't care what u do lol. She does get a little jealous of my friends on the browncafe from time to time though.

People don't understand what we go through so when you tell them about what we as drivers to do sups they get the idea that we are being petty. They don't experience the harassment that we put up with on a daily basis. I tell sup's they are to blame for turning good employees into these "hard ball" drivers but they simply do not care.

i take the time to explain my entire work history in a way that anyone could understand, so my girlfriend understands everything when i rant about one thing or another
just like i listened to her about her work
i can't imagine just not talking about half of your entire week with your significant other

+1. Work is such a huge part of our lives I couldn't imagine not sharing my day with my wife. Same with her telling me about her day. She's actually kind of disappointed when she asks what happened today and I say actually it was pretty uneventfual. She's usually like what no crazy customers or anything.

I never discuss UPS with my wife or anyone outside UPS.
I never socialize or go out with UPSers. I never go out for drinks after work. I do run into UPSers all the time.
When I leave UPS, I turn "it" off except for my phone ... management is 24/7 in that respect. My current responsibilities does not require "operational" support and I have not been on an after-hours call in the last 6 months although I still take calls when I am on vacation. Those calls are probably the only exposure that she has had to UPS.
What does my wife know about UPS and that side of my life?
1) UPS requires long hours and dedication
2) UPS pays an OK salary but growth in UPS Stock is the reward
3) UPS Stock did well until UPS went public
4) UPS pension pays almost as much as regular salary (age 58 and 40 years)
5) UPS Retiree Health Care premium is paid for by UPS
6) I was in Region for 2 years before my wife realized that i was not in the District
7) I was in Corporate for probably 6 years before she realized that
8) My wife has never been to UPS or any UPS events
9) She does not know any UPSers except for one lady I worked with 30 years ago with whom she does business
She does think the time I spend on Brown Cafe is wasted and not natural and she does not understand it.
PS - My wife told me about every fricking thing that happened when she worked at a company and now that she sells on ebay, I hear all about that.
Don't ask me to repeat it because I mostly don't absorb it.
