[QUOTE="soberups, post: 911779, member: 14668"] I love the sense of camaradarie. Everybody is working late, everybody is in the same boat, everybody is facing the same challenges. I love the fact that, unlike summer, our service failures and long hours are generally not due to self-inflicted management stupidity. We are working late because its Christmas, not because some idiot from I.E. decided to eliminate routes in order to look good on a report. I love delivering in the dark to houses that are decorated with a lot of lights, and I love it when people are genuinely happy to see me because I am bringing gifts to them. I love the fact that I'm not sweating in 100 degree heat. The package car has a pretty effective heater, but the A/C leaves a lot to be desired. I can stay comfortable by wearing a jacket and gloves. I cant really think of anything that I truly hate about peak. When I wake up on a Monday morning in December, I know and accept the fact that I have a 60 hour workweek ahead of me. I'm not a victim. Its UPS, its Christmas, and thats what I signed on for when I made a decision to make a career here. [/QUOTE]
