[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 662528, member: 12570"] But to walk five steps in another man's shoes... I would bet my paycheck that you had little regard for a UPS driver, much less a seasonal helper, in your former career as a barrister. (You're not the only one who knows big words.:wink2:) You may have seen the brown trucks, may have asked a secretary or mail clerk to "overnight" a contract or deposition, but had little regard for how it got from point A to point B. I would hope that if you were to have taken anything away from your experience here, besides the meager paycheck, it would be just how physically demanding and stressful this job can be. I would also hope that you have gained a greater appreciation for the value of good old-fashioned hard work. (Don't worry, your hands will go back to their silky smoothness after awhile.) I would also hope that the chip which rests squarely on your shoulder has been somewhat reduced after your completion of UPS Peak 101. Marginalization endured by the working poor? Give me a freakin' break. Get off your damn high horse!! [/QUOTE]
