So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Moving Day
Sunday. 6.1.08 7:50 pm
Moving Day. Had to help three of my friends move. I don't look forward to these days because it's like taking a trip back into my early days at the warehouse. Not because I didn't like my work at the warehouse but because every guy says, "Can I help you with that?"

I've noticed American guys aren't as bad. Is this because chivalry is dead? No, I think it is because equality has finally triumphed. Which would you prefer, ladies? Chivalry or equality? I'll take equality.

[Note: I won't get angry with a dude who asks me a question like this or does a chivalrous act, because I know that his intentions are good, it's simply a reflection of how he was raised, and he has no way to know that I am strong like She-Woman and in need of no help. If he sticks around long enough, I will prove it to him.]

But more angering and equally damning are all the girls who say, "Let's wait til the boys come back so they can lift the heavy stuff" Or, "We need boys for that one." etc.

Is this because girls are weak? Or lazy? Or both?
I know for at least one of my friends it's because she had a bunch of older brothers and she did nothing while they lifted all of her heavy objects as if she were a princess.

Truth be told, in the sport of moving boxes, there isn't a magical divide between girls and boys. There are strong people, and weak people. They can be of either gender. Many girls assume that they are weak when in truth they are lazy, and any physical weakness they may have is probably a side effect of low expectations.

So, just to sock it to the Man, I carried all of Crater Girl's things upstairs while "the boys" were driving around the U-Haul. I carried the mattress by myself, and I enlisted the "weaklings" to help me with the big stuff like the couch. "The boys" were like, "Wow, you got all this stuff up there??" and we shrugged, as if to ask why they would be surprised.

Now my legs are sore from all that lifting. But it was worth it! Bah humbug!

Well, I dunno. I prefer chivalry.

None of the guys around here EVER offer to do anything for a girl. It sucks.

I worked at a book diststribution company. I worked in the shipping dept. My main job was to stack boxs in the UPS truck. They all weighed 30-120lbs. I filled 3 53' trucks each day. There was a latino girl that put the shipping labels on the boxes. Occationally she would come into my area. I admit she was very very attractive. I always carried the boxes and pallets for her. I did it cause I liked having her around and wanted to be nice to her because I felt pity for her. Besides she was pregnant. I felt very much like it was my responsability to help her with lifting and such. Pity that she was so smart and attractive and was working in that old plant. Sad. She was glad for the help.
