Dammit!

Tomorrow the Salvation Army will arrive between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm to pick up furniture I'm getting rid of from the old apartment. It has to be out of there, because otherwise the landlord will charge me to get rid of it. I can call them after 8:00 am to get a three or four-hour window during which they'll show up. However...

I had earlier said I'd be meeting up with Mel and a mutual friend from out of town that day at 11:00 am. Aieee! So I called Mel and she's on her way to the airport, so she'll call me back later and I can come over this afternoon, so we'll get to meet even if I'm stuck with the Salvation Army all day tomorrow.

Meanwhile, The cable guy woke me up this morning and spent two hours hooking everything up, periodically pausing to demand some piece of equipment I didn't have. ("Yes, I do own an extension cord, but I have no idea which box it's in.")

Now the bed, the supposedly great for your back NASA memory foam mattress, and bed-putter-togethers are here. First thing out their mouths: "Do you have an extension cord?"

Ugh! That's one of the most annoying things... people you are Paying to do a job being unprepared to do said job. I think you should ask them, "Do you have an extension cord?" Followed by, "Why not?"

Snarf! One thing 17 moves within 11 years taught me is, "Have an extension cord box that unloads right after the bathroom stuff!"
