So I ask my boss (I work in food prep) where he wants the box of chicken. "You just wrap it, I'll put it away," he tells me. "It's too heavy for you." Now, my boss is a pretty big guy, about 6'5", and it's a decent sized box packed full of raw chicken, but I am not exactly diminutive, 5'8" if not particularly muscular.

I finish and wrap the chicken, but I need to fill another box, and my boss is not currently in sight to put the chicken away. I pick it up to put it on the next counter over, to make space. I discover that the chicken is not only not too heavy to move to the next counter, but not too heavy to carry across the room to the fridges. In fact, my arms won't even be hurting.

My boss comes back right as I have it in transit, and goes, "Whoa! Phoenix is strong!"

Across the room, the dish washer adds, "Phoenix is a black belt. She's my bodyguard!"

"Wow!"

And so on. So I say to my boss, "Now we've established I am not intimidated by the weight of the chicken, where do you want it?"

And he tells me. And I put it away.
