@mechanicinblue said ↗I’m having my first enjoyable day the Friday after thanksgiving in 31 years. I’m thinking rest of peak as well!! Now that I retired, Christmas has become enjoyable once again. I used to despise Peak Season as a driver due to the stress and long hours when I was a newer driver. Eventually I learned to not stress out over things beyond my control. Bad loads because of constant new Preloaders, late air, getting out of the building late, weather, and stuff like that. I finally came to realize there wasn't any sense in worrying about things I had no control over. I took the attitude that I was going to go out and make more money to fix poor planning and mistakes made by management. instead of throwing up a Christmas Tree a week before and let my family decorate, now we usually have it done by now. I don't miss Christmas parties and family gatherings due to working late or just being worn out. Life will get better when you leave that place, I promise you that.
