Heavy Mover

I spent the day moving two tall shelving units full of marble, granite and other stone slabs and tiles from one building to the building across the street. The only problem was that the entrance I needed was on the opposite side of the building across the street. Fortunately the journey with a loaded cart was almost entirely downhill.

I was amazed at how many people ignored or simply didn't notice a man in a red shirt pushing a red handtruck loaded down with large stacks of heavy rock. I'm also surprised that I didn't take off anyone's ankles. I came close a few times. You'd think people would realize that a cart has less mobility than a pair of legs.

Anyway, I had borrowed one of Drew's rain jackets this morning because the forecast was nasty. I never had to use it because it turned out to be a beautiful fall day. There were a few sprinkles after lunch, but nothing terrible. Most of the day was sunny with a nice breeze off the Sound.

I also set up my interview for Monday. The lady I spoke with sounded very eager to meet me. I'll brush up on my Word and Excel this weekend and will hopefully be completely prepared come Monday.
