Moving 2

I think I've finally learned my lesson with respect to do it yourself moving. As I've said before, if I don't learn vicariously I learn painfully. The do it yourself process can be fairly easy if everything goes well. But if it doesn't it can be a real pain...welcome to my DIY experience.

I had arranged to park the 20+ ft truck in the loading dock at my apartment tower all day today, but was informed late yesterday that what they said wasn't correct - I didn't have it from 8 AM until 12 noon. What do you do with a big truck for four hours?

So instead of taking off work to joy-ride for four hours I parked it in a neighborhood where I used to live. What could have been a straight forward logistics plan turned sour.

Hmmm, so a logistics plan/path is good until a primary link is broken - at which point alternative methods become the backup. Thankfully I had a decent backup plan.

Does anyone else have a strong sense of justice when hassled by mistakes others make and refuse to remedy? This judge is still trying to decide whether to turn the other cheek or write negative reviews at the various apartment building review sites.

Comments or Counsel?

There are few things as painful as moving yourself. Good luck. The company paid for my recent move and you wouldnt believe how great it was to not even have to pack. Something to look forward to...
