Indeed, but it will have to wait until tomorrow, I have to wake up in the morning so I'm going to bed. Goodnight.

Roo, goodnight Willis.

Hello willis.

Willis

What common household items weigh fifty pounds? I have no idea if I can lift "upwards of 50 pounds" or not. :s

Uhhhh, A small coffee table, a tv, five large bags of potatoes.

Don't have no potatoes or coffee tables... uh. have tv. Probably can't move it from its thing.

oh hey gaiz.
'sup.

I dunno what the heck willis is doing. But I am trying to determine whether I can lift fifty pounds so I can apply to a job. o _o Hi.

Willis is doing geometry homework

......your big suitcase when full is about 50 lbs I'd say.

what kind of job is that if you're required to lift 50lbs?
o3o

also...

; A; Should have seen that one coming
but no
I sure as hell don't. /sob I am so out of shape.

...I thought about the suitcase, actually. It's pretty heavy when full, but I do lift it when necessary. I think I may as well go ahead and apply; I really doubt this heavy-lifting is gonna be an actual issue. And if it is, maybe they'll be kind enough to help me out until I build up a little goddamn strength. XD

It's a cake decorating job. Though nearly every job I find (mostly in the realm of janitors/dishwashers and sometimes cake decorators) requires that applicants be able to lift between 25-50 pounds. This one in particular says "upwards of 50 pounds", though, which makes me think they've got some hefty bags of stuff that I'll need to move around. I think I can manage...
-_- And as my grandma constantly says, "Just because I apply for the job doesn't mean I'm gonna get it" anyway.

Indeed, I figure if you can lug around that suitcase you'll be fine.

...I can lift pretty close to my own weight when needed. I can also lift my dog Max and he weights more than 80 lbs, 50 isn't really as heavy as it sounds.

The thing about weight is, it depends more on the package than the number. Something fifty pounds that I can get a good grip on and sort of lift from the bottom, easy. Something of the same weight that I have to kind of grab with my fingers and pull up, not so easy.

Indeed, is all about the handling.

Ugh I hate job applications. ; A; almost makes me wish I was in school.

School isn't so terrible, but is spensive,
