  • Engaging in polite and witty conversation while carrying a sleeper sofa up three flights of stairs in 95-degree heat
  • Orienting furniture to adhere to the fundamentals of Feng Shui
  • But mostly just carrying things (and stuff) onto or off of a big red moving truck. Some days will be a relative cake-walk, others will seriously test your resolve to continue the eternal struggle of 'man vs. boxes'.
