Moving Objects

Just wanted to share a couple things I have learned from transporting objects.

1.) Sprinters > Cargo Vans
2.) Gator board boxes are the best
3.) You can never have enough tissue paper and boxes, but most of the time there actually won't be enough tissue paper and boxes; so you'll just have to get creative!
4.) Packing foam is not only good for padding boxes but also for putting some cushion between aching knees and concrete floors
5.) Always wear comfy shoes
6.) You can never have too many flatbed karts
7.) Large rolls of bubble wrap are very hug-able, especially when you are fatigued and you need something to lean against
8.) Packing tape is a necessary and stinky evil
9.) Plastic sheets are gigantic and packing blankets are comparatively tiny
10.) Keep track of your pink slips!   
11.) Always take the precaution to make sure you don't load karts and object boxes into the freight elevator in such a way that they trap the interns
12.) It takes SO much more time to pack than it does to unpack, which does make the end of the day feel a bit anticlimactic so you'll have to celebrate with a lunch to perk things up a bit
