Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 That comment reminded me of when I was job hunting a few years back and had to go to a plaza to drop off an application and resume. I circled the parking lot and couldn't find any ramps to the sidewalk. (I always tend to arrive early to new places so I can scout out the area and figure out the easiest way for me to get around.) I figured I'd just park and walk and get enough stamina to climb the curb once I got to it. BIG mistake! I got to the curb and fell trying to walk up it. So, there I am sitting on the curb, looking like an idiot, and wondering how I was going to get up. There's absolutely no one around to help me and I'm starting to panic. My car is too far away to crawl to, so that was a last resort. Somehow I managed to get on my knees and bend at the waist and stand up, (I have a horrid time if I am standing bent at the waist to try to raise my upper body....I can't do sit ups either so I'm not sure if this is due to weak stomach and back muscles). Needless to say after that excursion I walked back to my car and sat there trembling for about ten minutes and figured no job was worth that sort of struggle every day so I went home! ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
