chief repair person. I only recently put my foot down that I wasn't going to be chief "Toter of heavy loads". I nearly broke my finger one day on an impromptu summoning that was taking an air compressor out of the truck. Sorry, no, not anymore. I was called a piece of shit and everything else when I said NO MORE, LAST TIME.

I can handle light bulbs, minor plumbing (well, hell, even major plumbing), fixing the TV, but I refuse to haul anymore heavy shit. No. I have hauled my last bag of mulch, my last heavy thing out of the truck and the last "Here's heavy shit, I'll call Aerows to do it" thing I will EVER do.

It took about three episodes of no, and no you can call me every name in the book but no, I'm not carrying a bunch of heavy shit conversations for them to get that, too.
