Never resign. And if u do get terminated permanently, UPS can never say why. They can only give a left on date.
My old center had a guy with 3 duis, and got his job back until the third.
I say dont give up. You say you have other financial backing, Praise the Lord.
drinking and driving is bad, we all know that. You didnt kill anyone, you were not obliterated.
I remember the days going to the beer garden with my Dad after he got off work, and he would have a few with his friends, and I didnt know at that time, but he was relaxing and unwinding. He never drove crazy, reckless, to me it is a fond memory.
Putting every one in a category where with a few beers, you are going to drive down the road and kill someone, is what it is, and I understand that.
Unfotunately the guys driving home at 630, who have been at the tavern for an hour are the ones who get picked. Not the ones at 3am, who have been at the bar, since 3 pm, and dont know which way is home. Sorry I feel it is a double standard. but ... it is what it is.....
I know from experience if I have 3 beers I am safe to drive. I dont but I know I am safe. Or I wouldnt do it. I grew up when having a drink after work was not a life sentence now it is.
I see more people who could kill me driving talking on a phone, than any person leaving a bar, after a few. Not too many just a few.
