Two century marks in one day

Model A UPS Package Car

On a glaringly bright Saturday when my car thermometer once again hit triple digits, I found myself in South Philly helping celebrate the hundredth anniversary of my illustrious employer. Of course, I can’t take full credit for a century’s worth of success (only the last twelve years or so).

I only took a couple photos (and worse yet, with my phone’s camera), but I thought I’d post the above picture of a car on which the digital dashboard thermometer was not an option.

That’s really excellent…and a fun post title…really good company, too. I like how UPS has adapted to the modern times better than any 100-year-old company. Congrats.

It is a pretty good company to work for too. The only down side to continual adaptability is the unending sea of change that envelopes the work process; which, in the end isn’t all bad.
