"about 105. i seriously worked my ass off today running around this tiny, overcrowded ramp."

Hmmm..
I don't want to get into an I can outdo you war, but heres my job: I work in a hardware warehouse. I'm in the shipping dept. We load trailers every day. More than half are floor loaded (not palletized). Several each day are calculated to be at 100 to 120%. What does that mean? It means you are stuck inside a metal can where the temps will routinely be 20-30 degrees (or more) higher than the air temperature. There's no air flow. And you are loading cases of paint and nails to the ceiling of the trailer. Not to mention pipe, concrete, fence post, barbed wire and the other 65,000 items in this warehouse. We had many days over 90 last summer and uncountable days in the eighties. And lest I forget...you better hustle. Big brother is watching your line count.
