  • And the boxes come crashin' down....

    One day at the music store my boss told me to get up on the ladder in the back room & store the boxes of files up there on those shelves.

    "Yup jefe,I'll do it..."

    As I load the last box on the upper shelf while perched 6 feet up on a step ladder I hear the creaking,then cracking.
    I grab the shelf to hold it up & yell for my boss (he's the owner,only us 2 in the store),he comes in & sees the situation & says "Jump!"

    So I go sideways off a stepladder to the door,a 6-7 foot jump,just in time as (I figured out later) 700-800 lbs of files came down..... right on top of the 8 foot glass display case we'd just moved in there.It exploded.

    Took me a week to clean it up.
