Well, the last week has been pretty interesting. I got sick last Wednesday, and it's been lingering for the last week. Speaking of being sick, my brother got sick last week too, and I had to take him to the emergency room on Saturday so he could get treated. I can't remember what it was called, but something in his throat swole up and he couldn't swallow anything, and was having trouble breathing. He's better now, and just has to keep taking his meds and he'll be back to normal in a few days.
At work there always seems to be some box that I hate. A couple weeks ago we got these boxes of hard rubber balls through, and they were really heavy. Not only that, but the weight inside the boxes would shift, and the boxes themselves were falling apart. A few had broken open and we spent a lot of time collecting the darn balls. Last week we had these boxes from Taiwan, and they were all heavy (and retardedly, not marked as heavy like they're suppose to be). I got the pleasure of unloading them from the truck, and then I doubled my pleasure by having to load them into the delivery truck. All 40 of them. We got another 34 though yesterday, and I got to double my pleasure that do too. All I can say is 'ugh'.
Today we got a shipment of Harry Potter books through, and it was about 250 boxes worth. The individual boxes weren't that bad, but once they started they just didn't stop. They knew they were going to be a pain in the butt though, so they pulled me from the trailer and sent me down to the truck that they were going to be loaded into, just to have someone dedicated to pull them. It sucked looking up the conveyer belt and seeing a solid line of books, and after about 80 I was wore out. After 250 I was dead tired.
But it's nice to get a workout at work. Once I get over being sick I'm going to start working out again, and I hope that helps me in the long term (I know it's going to suck for the first couple weeks, it's like getting 2 workouts a day).
