Today I moved offices yet again. Boy, I sure am getting sick of playing pack-horse. My actual office just moved down the hall from the room I was in for the last two weeks. However, several editors were starting on a show today and we had to move a couple Pro Tools systems from the offices / storage rooms at Universal to Burbank. Four hours of manual labor plus several hours of assembling Pro Tools systems. Long day.
At one point we had to get a couch out of one of the rooms and move it into another. I flipped it up on it’s side and started to slide it across the floor. Dana, the other assistant, got a surprised look on her face.
“Look at you.”
“What?”
“Throwing couches around…”
“I used to be a mover. Didn’t I tell you?”
It’s true. When I was in college I had a job driving a big truck, picking up students stuff on the East Coast and driving it to Chicago. I have moved way too many boxes, trunks, microwaves, and couches in and out of houses and dorm rooms. Plus I drove pick-up trucks for several years which meant that I was always the friend to call when someone was moving.
Hi, I’m Jon and I’ll be your mover today.
