I will say that having a ramp on the porch has helped greatly when it comes to moving anything large into a house, and I feel I prefer ramps into houses rather than stairs.

Ramps are nice, sadly they seem to be rare compared to stairs, despite theoretically being easier to make

[Frumple]

It's mostly a space thing, to be fair. A ramp that isn't as much or worse of a fall hazard as a staircase is going to take up a fair bit more area, generally. The incline has to be pretty gentle or you're just as likely to bust your ass on it as you would your average set of stairs. Stairs are also a little more forgiving in terms of material, from what I've noticed... more stuff isn't going to appreciably make them more dangerous than for ramps.

Still, if you have the space and the means to acquire the right sorts of materials (which isn't difficult, it's just you can halfass stairs with 2x4s or whatever and that'll end up slicker than owl shit on a weather exposed ramp in ways it won't with stairs), go ramp. Just... go ramp, for you general domestic use.

I may have very slightly done a tiny little bit of tweaking the everloving fuck out of my lower back after hauling wood around today. I'm pretty sure I actually heard it chuckling at the ibuprofen I threw at it an hour or two ago.

I'm still young enough that I can wince and grunt and moan around the apartment for a day or two and be none too worse for it, but jesus, owwwwww.

Work is still really stressful. I'm just sitting at my computer answering calls and typing things, but a full workday leaves me feeling exhausted, like I just finished carrying heavy boxes around.

"Please stick to this script, and be thorough about it, and multitask by talking+typing+working+looking at emails+responding to the messages in your work chat room, also hurry the fuck up average time for each call is 7 minutes 30 seconds, also be certain to leave thorough documentation for each call, also the moment one call ends the next call automatically picks up and begins, ALSO the feature to delay the auto-pickup can be used BUT I'm going to arbitrarily restrict your usage of it depending on the amount of people in the queue WHICH YOU CAN'T SEE and too bad if the pace is too fast and you wind up making a fool of yourself in front of customers hurrying to do everything, just work faster... And don't forget, we're always spying on you, grading you, and even if the customer hangs up on you, we'll dock you points because you couldn't fit in the prescribed closing lines before he hung up and the next customer picked up....

oh, and we've added more procedures, and the rules have changed, and it's your responsibility to keep on top of these changes.

And be certain to remain cheery for the customer, even though you don't even get a chance to breath between calls."

JoshuaFH, I've got to ask... why remain in that particular job? Do they pay well or have good benefits or flexible schedule?  Sounds like a terrible work environment.

Today was a bit better, if only because I got a greater number of easygoing customers, and I felt like a well-tenderized steak throughout the day and could remain calm under pressure.

Yeah I'm wondering where I can apply, I really don't know how I can flourish at a job like this.
