the box

The mail room at NCC is in the College Center...the original campus on that side of the street. I'm in communications hall. At Green Pond Road. Normally, it's a five minute walk. Yesterday it was forever.

One of the huge paper companies, Mohawk, was offering paper samples for the classroom. So I signed up. It was paper sample, booklets to understand paper weights, envelope sizes, ect. I went to check the mail and a huge box was waiting for me. I had no cart. No strong co-ed volunteer. Nada. Just my weak flabby arms.

So I carried it. All 29 pounds. Across campus. I took the elevator for the first time. And used the electronic doors. I reached CH and collapsed on the first table. After  a 5 minute rest, I carried to my classroom and opened it. Then I carried it to the adjunct office.

My weight training for Tuesday. Done.

It was time for a nap.

Rats. I still had to teach.
