On moving
July 16th, 2006 byIn an effort to save cost I asked around school for empty boxes I could use for packing stuff. This is a common practice at university since a lot of students need boxes and the department/school has no use for empty boxes.
So I asked a friend in one of the biology labs. He brought back some unassembled boxes that had BIOHAZARD marks emblazed on them. They were boxes researchers are suppose to assemble and then use to dispose biologically hazardous junk. (Besides being extra sturdy when assembled, there is nothing unique about the boxes.)
So although the geek inside me would totally love the idea of packing my clothes and books in BIOHAZARD marked boxes, something tells me it might not be such a great idea. Particularly if you’re moving to a new apartment and the doorman notices you bringing in boxes and boxes of “BIOHAZARDâ€.
