There is no tired like UPS tired during the month of December. OK, Kent, Angela, and Lisa might say that ER doc or trauma surgeon tired is far worse, and I might agree. Ann and Michelle would probably say that mother of a newborn with two toddlers tired is even worse, and I guess I would have to be a real jerk to argue. Mike, Brett and Dave might claim engineer quickly closing in on a deadline tired is the worst of all, and not being smart enough to make it out of college algebra I would have to accept their opinion.
But ultimately Ryan, Stayc, and I know from first hand experience what UPS tired is like. It seeps deep into your bones, and can only be leached out with several months of recovery. It makes my head cloudy for the whole month, and makes me feel really disconnected. If I seem strange to any of you, (stranger than normal that is), please chalk it up to UPS tired. Sometimes after I talk to one of you I wonder if I said things that were taken differently than I meant, or what I said had nothing to do with what I was thinking. In fact I have no idea what I am trying to write. Just remember it is the UPS tired talking.

Yes, we all have some form of tired. But I marvel at your ability to push yourself physically, days on end. I for one, am grateful that individuals like you are out there making sure the packages we send to friends and family at this time of the year arrive in a timely and intact manner. Thank you.
I remember Rik.. All too well... I will be remembering this "Peak" as I enjoy my new laid back position!

I've done enough labor-intensive work to appreciate what you're saying. Even though I often pull long hours, it's different.
I want to help. Here's my suggestion: let's plan a spring climbing trip we can look forward to! I think Kent has already been pressing you on this. JT, the Valley, or even your local crag. I just finished my climbing wall and need some motivation to train.
Keep up the good work!
You're right Rik, I do know what UPS tire is because it is mom with newborn tired, scared of what you're saying or doing becasue you can't quite control it. Anyway, you're amazing, because I don't exercise at all during those times, but I'm pretty sure you still are...
