Oh, I've had so many today!
I volunteered at a particular event in which I had to interact with a bunch of people. Some were very nice. Some were complete tools.
A real conversation:
Douche: Hey, can I have a Powerade?
Me: Sorry, these [giant skid of Powerade that I've been tasked with protecting] aren't for today;s event. There's a tent just over there with some cold ones though.
Douche: C'mon. These are right here though.
Me: I know, but they've asked that no one touch these. The tent's just right there (pointing about 30 feet from us) - and they're cold. These ones are all warm.
Douche: Just let me take two. Just look the other way.
Me: Sorry.
Douche: You know, I am a banker.

What Not To Wear Out

Namely, your lower back.
I destroyed my body on Monday by stubbornly opting to do the following:
* Lifting a dishwasher, by myself, onto a mat and moving it out of the kitchen.
* Somehow maneuvering / lifting a fridge onto a mat, by myself, and moving it out of the kitchen.
* Moving a gigantic pantry, by myself.
* Sanding the walls.
* Painting the walls.
* Installing new flooring.
All in one day.
It's Wednesday night and I'm only now starting to feel less pain.
Don't try this at home.

Random Life News
So, a post or so ago I mentioned that I would be looking for another job. Another job I did look for. Another job I did find.
Seems like only yesterday I was posting about how I was leaving my old job for a new one. And yet, I've done it again.
I've decided to return to non-profit. While I love the people I worked with, my soul - simply put - was rotting away at the old job. I was just putting WAY too much energy and time and brain juice into ... well, nothing. Some guy's big wallet in Korea, I suppose. So while I wish my former employer well, I wish my new employer much, much better vibes.
Nothing replaces knowing that you're doing good.
