So I work in logistics delivering packages door to door. I knew when the holiday season started I would notice a increase in hours. But in the past 3 weeks the shortest shift I work was 12 hours. The rest have all been 13,14 and even a 16 hour shifts. I find this utterly exhausting and live off of energy drinks, power shots, and subway. Not only is this not healthy too me, but it's hard on my wallet. So all this money I'm making is being used while I'm working. On top of all this since I'm the final step in the delivery process I'm usually the one to catch the blame. If the the truck is two hours late and I can't get all my deliveries off then I'm told to stay out regardless of how late it is. Then if I don't because I'm falling asleep at the wheel I get written up. Then I'm constantly harassed by my boss to work on the weekend after I had already worked 60+ hours that week.

At this point I'm seriously debating whether the money is worth the toll it is taking on my mind and body. If it wasn't for my girlfriend I would've done something drastic by now.
