UPS = all the chocolate you can eat

I have not gotten into a routine yet with my UPS job, but maybe I'm not looking for a routine, because if I was I would have found it a long time ago.  I look for chaos and chaos I have found, so here I am trying to keep up with my blog in the chaos.  We had the busiest night ever at UPS on Wednesday night.  They said it doesn't get that busy at Christmas time.  It just happened to be MY truck.  At least I'm getting known in the upper management.  The night manager was actually helping me while he was screaming and yelling at the people sending the stuff our way, because it could have been handled better.  I ended up scanning (loading) over 4,000 boxes that night.  I had no idea what that meant until a few guys said they've worked there over a year and never come close to that.  I guess I'm doing ok there.  I think it's supposed to be a compliment that I'm in the busy truck, but I'm old enough to know that just means more work.  I'm ok with that though.  I'm a sucker for praise and emotionally gratifying rewards vs money.  Plus, my night goes by fast and I'm burning enough calories to eat chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream and chocolate brownies whenever I want.  That's a great deal!  I'll tell you about my son's night doing improv at the Brave New Workshop next time.  I can't wait!
