You are on the early morning shift with your colleague kent who tells you he has had a late night and is feeling a little seedy . You and kent are responsible for setting up the outdoor area . You are requires to set up A-farmes, a portable tunnel , stepping blocks, walking boards and balance beams to create an obstacle course. Kent puts out the sand play equipment and then sits down. You tell him you are waiting for him to help you with the obstacle course equipment. He says he has a headache and says "just drag it out, its not that heavy." What would you do ?
