It's kind of a celebration around here with 100 stories and photos on our staging work. I mentioned it to Sister Ex and we began to laugh over the funny and not so funny things that have happened over the years.
We remember:
Our first job made us exactly $17.00 (before tax)
Driving our own truck and loading our own furniture
Beginning in a garage
Moving to a vacant house
On to our first (run down) warehouse
And now a move to a large clean professional warehouse
Almost shearing the top off the truck under a bridge (FYI: know your height restrictions)
Naming furniture after our clients
We remember:
Driving down the freeway with the back door of the truck open (rookies)
Telling the owners that our guys were on break (we didn't have any guys)
Hanging a huge heavy mirror in front of the agent and
tumbling to the ground mirror, bodies and all. (I remember looking at Sister and seeing her cute hat askew on her head)...and
laughing.
Carrying furniture and one of us inevitably starts laughing so we have to stop and start again
Renaming unkind clients...
Having our furniture packed by the door ready to be stolen
Centering a truck (which means we almost rolled it over and had to bribe someone to rescue us)
Bringing our sick kids to work
- Loading out a job and finding a Polly Pocket in the shower where our kids were playing.
We laugh at:
- Mean clients
- Our "glamorous" job
- Arriving at the project without a couch and chairs
- Each other
- Sister Ex coming around the corner on 2 wheels
- Firing Danielle over and over (she's weary of it but we always get a laugh)
- Putting holes in our clothing in the same spot every time
