No entry yesterday. I was just too darn tired by the time I was done with the weekend projects. On the other hand, if I can keep up the level of activity that I had on Sunday, I won’t feel as if I’ve fallen too far off my workout schedule.

\nI’m not sure of the exact weight of a box of books… Hardcover and paperback weigh different amounts, the paper stock makes a difference too… There’s just too many variables. On the other hand, I can make a guess. We used old copier paper boxes, so they measured 11 x 17 x 10ish. That’s 1710 cubic inches. A 500 sheet ream of 20 pound bond paper weighs 5 pounds, which works out to about .425 ounces per cubic inch. Add a bit for the heavier cover stock, subtract a bit for the empty space and we’ll say each box of books weighed in at roughly 40 pounds.<\/p>\n
So, yesterday’s workout involved taking eight 40 pound weights from the condo to the truck, and then from the truck up the stairs to the library. A nice combination of cardiovascular workout and weightlifting.<\/p>\n
I’m gonna head off on a work related rant for a bit… I’ve mentioned before that it’s a good idea to proof your poster before it gets printed full sized. It’s also a good idea, if we’re doing the design and layout, to give us the text and figures that you actually want to see on the poster. If you take a look at your layout and then decide that you want to replace the text and figures with totally new ones, you need to realize that you’ve just given us a completely new poster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
