27. At NO point did I ask this person to lie for me.

You might have seen that if you'd have read the post.

The fact is that I DO meet the written standards of the job, which are to lift 35 pounds, which I did on 5 reps that were requested, and to carry that 35 pounds a distance down the hallway and back, which I aslo did.

It was also required to be able to push 100 pounds, which I also did.

I statedt hat If I did something like move furniture all day, my back would be sore. Are you saying that the vast majority of people's backs wouldn't?

At NO time did I EVER suggest that he "fake" my physical. There is no place in my post that even hints at this.

Reding what I actually wrote may have helped you.
