To be a UPS driver.

Seriously. You drive around town listening to music and bringing people packages. People love getting packages so you make them happy. AND! You make them happy without even having to talk to them. You just throw the brown box at their doorstop and instant fucking smiles. **Except a few weeks ago when I got a Bible in the mail. I was like "oooh, package!" and then I opened it. Still wondering where it came from.

I think about the change in working lifestyles between my parents and I. Both of my parents are blue-collar, hourly folks with jobs that are physically demanding. (My dad has since retired at 50, but regardless). My mom is meat and potatoes, butter on your toast, eat a peanut butter cup every day if you want to kind of lady and she's tiny. This isn't because she has a great metabolism, it's because she doesn't sit at a damn desk all day typing and running her mouth for exercise.

I just got done eating my lunch. A shitty, Lean Cuisine. Damn you desk job.

3 cheese stuffed ravioli Lean Cuisine is da bomb! I also like the cheese and potato one. My parents are the same (well my mom is, dad was before he passed). Kids at school thought my dad was a boxer because he looked like he worked out. But he didn't he worked with his hands. He could build and fix literally anything. I wonder if there is a max weight you have to be able to lift to work for UPS...

Oh, I didn't know it was a fantasy thing. I'll be sure to let Dean know to pick up a brown uniform on the way home. :lol:

I had a delicious shake. Later I'll have a sensible dinner. lol Our UPS guy seems to be in a bad mood quite a bit too. Now, the DHL guy, he's always happy.

UPS drivers are under an unbelievable amount of pressure to get their routes done on time. Talk about micro-managing, their management even tells them what foot to use to get into the truck. And let's not get started on christmas time!

AMEN Venom... I am still with Fed Ex in Flight Ops, but I started as a courier and had a route for about 3 years. You are timed to the second. Believe me, it is challenging.

Our UPS guy is always happy, and he gives my boss shit whenever he sees him. I heard a rumor that UPS guys don't make left hand turns, they will make 3 rights instead. It's supposed to be safer because they never cross oncoming traffic. What a strange company to work for...

Would that be a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup or a generic Walgreen's or Kroger type?

I wouldn't mind being a UPS driver. I bet some of their delivery stories are hilarious.

The driver that comes to my office every day with a look on his face like someone just shot his dog and complaining that he doesn't get home until after 8 every night would respectfully disagree.

I would suggest you ask Cannabis what his UPS driver thinks of him...I'm sure loading 3+TONS of books to be shipped EVERYDAY would be a little unfun. Now Pizza delivery, THAT's fun!
