Funny NSV about stairs

Hey guys,

In my line of work I do a lot of field visits to building for electrical survey work. This past summer I had to do one at a local hotel, in one of their towers that was 18 floors tall. While this tower had power, the code officials wouldn't let em run the elevators. Well I had to walk up all 18 flights of stairs. At 350 pounds, I was about to die by the 3rd floor.

Fast forward to this week and I had to do a site visit to a restaurant renovation in another building. When I got there, one of the people I was meeting looked familiar, and he said the same about me. It wasn't until we were walking around looking at the electrical rooms that he asked me about one of my co-workers going to said hotel above. I said "that's where I know you from...I was there at one of the meetings!" He said to me, "you were there when we did the 18 flights of stairs right? By the third floor you were dieing....Damn, you've lost A LOT of weight!!"

Guess it's time for me to try those stairs again.

    Awesome!

    It is always the "small" things that mean the most! I used to work in a third floor office. If the power was out I had to use the stairs. I am not at all joking when I say that by the time I reached the third floor, I had to stop and catch my breath to get enough energy to take out the key and unlock the door to get on to the main area.

    I am very glad that today the story is much different!

    Thanks for sharing!
