I moved a literal ton of paper last night: 237 copies in excess of 8 lbs a piece. I am hunched over a little less than I was at 2 am, when I took aspirin, a hot shower, and a 3 hour nap before finishing the last 50.

I'm not sure how much they weigh, as I am loathe to try to pick up one more copy...my arms might fall off.

The poor car. At least, it has no nervous system...
