~Climbing~
Now, this is what overcame me today. Normal day at work, doing my same boring thing: order picking. Wandering the shelves, picking the jeans.. But always the good helping hand to those who are scared of climbing the shelves. We only decide to climb the shelves after all, when we have to. Like, reaching the box on top of the shelves wich is all in the middle. It's like climbing trees to me, same fun. I climb everything that is climable, even over boxes on top of the shelves if I have to. But most of all, that is kinda wiggly.. I thank myself for being short(wich forces me to climb often) and lightweighted. One of the staff girls named Chantal asked me to help her get some jeans out of the highest placed boxes on top. It looked easy to reach, so I was on my way up there. Standing on the topshelve I saw that karton was a couple of rows away, so I decided to climb those rows to it. Those boxes weren't that strong anymore, and Chantal already warned me they were about to collapse. I told her that I was causious and knowing what to do. I bent over the last tower of boxes so I could open the next on top with the jeans Chantal needed, and threw down some pairs. While I was twisting my body throwing and grapping another pair, the row of boxes I clamped on suddenly stumbled sideways. In a second of a reflex I kicked my leg against the row of boxes behind me, so after then I was literally doing the split among two wiggly towers of boxes. It really looked like a crazy circus-stunt, all though it wasn't that fun. I didn't know to put my feet, so I had to jump off on the tiny space left on the shelvetop. While I did, another pair of heavy boxes were about to fall on me. I literally slapped one of those with my hand away off the shelves, and thank God no one was standing underneath it. I climbed down, taking a deep breath together with Chantal who almost freaked out sawing me hanging there. I laughed about it after all ofcourse. ..But it was lesser fun knowing my working knive was still upthere, on those boxes..
