The movers came today.
My body aches.
Dave blogs about how seeing photos of himself at Gnomedex shocks him. This move is shocking me. Who is creaking? Cannot be me I am too young.
Cup 528 waiting to be moved.
The state uses prison labor for these types of jobs. This bothers me. There is something wrong with prison industries that are exempt from our wage and hour laws.
The “volunteer” movers arrive at 7:00 a.m. and we are done by 10:00 a.m.
We provide doughnuts and soda for the guys. They were nice and appreciative. I was grateful for their help. However in retrospect I should have gotten them cigarettes. During the break before lunch as we chatted about home repairs I watched them share cigarette stubs. What was a bunch of guys talking as men do took on a strange colour after that. 529.
