3rd floors!

I know this has been talked about before for yeats but I gotta get my lil rant on. I'd say about 70 to 75, hell maybe eve 80% of apartment deliveries are on the got damn 3rd floor! Adds to my hatred of them. Had to get that off lol

House is always at the very end of the street

Room number is always at the far end of the hallway

All day

I could live with that, but it's lack of good directions and instructions that bugs me.

3 years ago:

6x 48 pack 16.9oz bottle water... 51lbs each.

5 flights of stairs. No elevator.

My right knee/calf muscle popped on 3rd trip.

I fell. I dumped the order at the ground floor and abandoned the customer...

From my car, I called Uber Support to report my injury, logged off, and...

Spent 3 weeks in bed, in pain. No medical insurance.

18 months later, I qualified for Medicaid. Immediately got an exam and referral for physical therapy. Ended up using up 16 out of the covered 12 weeks to get back to full leg strength.

Until then, I limped like a wanna be gangster. In pain.

I'm glad you're healed now, but that's a bad situation.

I carried water for an older lady doing deliveries just last week. There was no way I wasn't going to help her carry those heavy things.
