			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, if I were still working at a warehouse like I did when I was&#8230;18?  19?  Uh oh, not a good sign that I can&#8217;t remember.</p>
<p>I used to work in a warehouse as a &#8220;picker&#8221;.  I&#8217;d drive around on a little electric vehicle picking up boxes from shelving units in long isles, assembling them into neat little cubes (yay for spatial training!) and delivering them to waiting semi&#8217;s.  We used to compete on who could be the fastest, or just have yogurt fights.  I was likely in the best shape of my life; who wants yogurt all over them?  And I made some money to put me through university&#8230;.and worked with some great people, some great memories.</p>
<p>And now, it appears we wouldn&#8217;t have as much fun:</p>
