Baby birds in box
Start with the pots. This pots won't break. They're a good warm-up.
Get as many boxes as you need and never force anything inside. If it doesn't fit comfortably, it doesn't fit. You break something you have to buy it. you signed the same contract i did. I heard about this one girl who broke a vase that cost fifteen thousand dollars. She had to drop out of school.
I don't know if it's really true.But it's the policy, so.
You wrap the pots in this brown paper, same as everything. It doesn't matter that the pots aren't going to break. This is what they pay us for. To wrap everything in brown, like the most boring Christmas presents ever.
And you wad up more paper to stuff the open spaces, so nothing can shake around on the truck. The loading boys drive like they're losing a race.
You can't listen to music. Not while you're working. It doesn't matter that it's so quiet or that there's no one to talk to. They want you to hear if the client says something. Clients hate to see us listening to music, in general.
And turn off your phone! If they hear your phone even if you don`t answer it, they get mad.
The client will need you for something, i don't know for what. They're paying for care. Think of it like that. We care for their things, we care for them. If we could wrap them in brown and stow them away, we would. And they would tip us huge.
Just look at this place.
Never say stuff like that, "Just look at this place." Not to the loading boys and never, ever the client. they don't want to hear us gawking. And who knows why they're leaving? The money's all gone. Somebody had an affair. A kid died.
After the pots, the silverware. You wrap each fork, knife, and spoon separetely. You can't use enough brown paper.
Everything until now was just to clear the way for all the glass. People in houses like these love glass. they have tons of it. They don`t even call it glass. the call it crystal.
You take the glass one piece at a timr. both hands, ten fingers. Don't hold the glass up in the air any longer than you have to. Get it on the table or the floor as fast as you can, and wrap it thick in brown.
Think of tucking in baby birds. That's all you're doing
