Well, Thursday I spent the night putting 55-inch Phillips televisions into the back of people's vehicles. Friday was a fairly light day. I slept about eleven hours Friday night and had Saturday off.

Is that really needed these days? They're so light I would have thought they could do it themselves? I suppose if there's only one of them it could be a little awkward to carry.

They're not 'heavy', but they do have heft to them. And they're pretty awkward for one person to maneuver around. Plus, doing it for so long, two people doing it really helps in the long-run.

Well that happened to me, the sheet metal spun and flew off. I felt it hit by finger and I see not only the skin but muscle cut.

Well going to the hospital would have had them just glue it together and then bandage it. So I did it myself. So far so good.

It's not that major before anyone asks.
I once cut my thumb with a pen knife right on my nail, couldn't keep a band-aid on it so finally just glued it. Do I get a man-card for that? :mrgreen:

All of my Christmas presents are bought, wrapped, tagged and done. I feel somewhat accomplished.

Eight days until what? I haven't noticed any unusual activity. :P

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
