I'm Gettin' Too Old for This!
When will I learn? Seriously.
I was just saying I really needed to get more exercise. So....it snowed. A lot. And I had to shovel. A lot.
It about killed me. Mainly because I've let myself get so out of shape.
Lesson learned? Oh no. Of course not.
So again, I was sayin' if I just got more exercise I'd feel so much better. I said that not thinking about what's coming up with work.
Dawn this morning. I'm heading to the Milwaukee area. My first store is getting their new line and I wanna make sure it's perfect. So....I'm going to help unload the truck and set everything up.
That's right. I said unload the truck and set everything up. 15 beds. All queen and king size. Matts and boxes. That means the old stuff has to be taken down, bagged and moved to the back room. The new stuff taken OUT of the bags and set up.
Have you moved any mattresses lately? Those suckers are HEAVY! And, because I'm so very good at my job (ha ha) I moved this guy up to include a lot more of the luxury matts in his line-up. In the bedding world, luxury = really flippin' heavy.
At least I got a good nights sleep last night. Like a baby, I slept. Woke up to daylight!! It was fabulous.
And I'm gonna need every bit of it today.
But....it does have it's advantage. You see in about a week I have to do this again. Only then it's just me and one other woman. And we'll be tearing apart an entire store, moving things around and resetting everything. Just the two of us.
So, I'm looking at this as a warm-up. A practice run as it were.
I'm just grateful I've got that massage scheduled for tomorrow. I think I'm gonna need it!

Posted by: Richmond at February 15, 2008 03:38 PMI was in Mil. last week. Was cold as hell. Could not get from the de-ice to the runway fast enough to keep the snow and slush off the wings. Took off anyway and regreted it.
"Matts" are a pain. No good way to move them. You always feel like a dog trying to mount a bag of nails.
Um...
6-11 inches of snow coming Sunday.

Posted by: Roses at February 15, 2008 06:07 PM*nods* Yes, I've moved mattresses before. My first job was a stockboy at, Yep, that's right, a Furniture store. We carried Mattresses. Ever had to unwrap a sleeper sofa before? Egad, them puppies are very heavy. Had one ALMOST fall on me once.
I could tell you stories. Considering what I made an hour. It was a tough job.... and I was much better shape Physically then too! I was 18.
