Work related injury

My biceps are insanely sore today. Why, you may ask, well, I will tell you.

For those of you who have worked at a place that serves fountain pop are probably familiar with how the syrup for said pop is delivered. It comes in 20 litre bags which are put into boxes to prevent the bags from breaking. As you can probably imagine, 20 litres of what is essentially liquid sugar is pretty heavy. Anyways, several of these boxes were delivered to work yesterday, and as I was in, I thought I would go pick them up.

In the summer this is not a problem. Why? Because I have staff in with me. However, as this was a school group day, I was flying solo on this delivery...it only gets better from here. Normally, we have a dolly type thing that we can pile the deliveries onto and push from the West Entrance back to Cinesphere. However, this dolly is also an unruly bastard to move, so I instead decided to take one of those 2 wheeled cart ensembles instead. What I didnt realize though, was the physics of how the 2 wheeled cart ensembles work. As there are only 2 wheels, this means that the cart has to be tipped back and held up to move it. Therefore, I was left carrying the weight of whatever it is that is on the cart. It almost defeats the purpose of having the cart to begin with.

So, long story short I wound up pushing these stupid syrups (there were 6 of them) about 300 meters while essentially doing a bicep curl. Needless to say me arms are FUCKING SORE today, and not in a good way

Cheers
