    Hide some chicken on the stairs so you can snack when you're going up and down.

    given yesterday you were asking if it was worth working hard I think we have your work-shy number now.

    Not worth the effort trying to help you, is it? Because you give nothing back but trouble.


    Ah, didnt twig the connection. Thanks.

    I know you are not which is why I said you are NOT on an oil rig.

    Who mentioned a pound a day?

    OK so you get 6 minutes to carry 2 shelves up 2 flights of stairs (100 shelves in 300 minutes by the way). You may feel tired in the legs but shouldnt really be out of breath even. Have some chocolate peanuts on the way down the stairs, energy & sugars in one small unit. On another note, if you are that unfit is the employer contravening Health & Safety rules by making you carry more than you are able to without assistance?

    I don't think you know what you are talking about. I'm not unfit. I run 2 miles 3 days a week. I have to avoid refined sugars AT ALL COSTS. These shelves are very heavy and made of metal and the stairs is across the warehouse.

    Why is that?

    Lucozade is just a big no-no. It's a fallacy propagated by the drinks industry that Lucozade gives you energy.
