Welcome to the Adventures in dom

Part 1 (This is mostly off topic but read it if you want a good laugh! Laughing

burns calories I hear!)

So I got off work Tuesday and headed home to check out my new apartment and

start moving some things in just to make the official move a little quicker on

Wednesday. My roomate and I took a couple loads over to the new apartment and

tried to be as quiet as possible moving things from the truck to the elevator

and up to the apartment in the middle of night. We didn't want to wake the whole

complex. Being quiet isn't as easy as you would think! Luckily, my dog Jordan

was at a friends house being " doggysat " so she wasn't in the way or barking at

anything that moved. The apartment is great! We expected something different

because he used to live there but he lived on the 1st floor before. We live on

the 3rd floor now. The 1st floor is brand new and remolded thanks to Tropic

Storm so our apartment did look different but it was great just the

same. So far, everything is going well. We went back to the old apartment and

continued to do some last minute packing and cleaning. It's about 3 a.m. now and

we are both wide awake and I figured since we had to be up at 6 a.m. anyways why

don't we just stay up all night and get some things done, let the movers do

their thing in the morning, and go to sleep for awhile after and then finish up.

Sounded like a good idea at the time. We were both hungry so we decided to go

for dinner at a 24 hour restaurant. Eating dinner at a 24 hour restaurant at

3:00 a.m. that is right next to clubs is not a great idea. The place was full of

loud, annoying drunks. We left there around 4:30 and headed back home still wide

awake. We continued to pack, clean, and etc. and before we knew it it was light

outside. We took a load over to the new apartment and then came to wait for the

movers that were coming between 7 and 9 a.m. The cable was coming between 8 - 10

and someone had to be there so we called the cable to ask if they would call

before they came so we didn't have to split up. They said yes and we waited for

the movers out by the street. Around 8:35 I told my roommate to call and see if

the movers called before they came as well so we could do what we needed to do.

We had reserved these movers November 21 and they called the day before to

confirm. My roommate called and they told him we were not scheduled for today! !

! Our account is there but not put the file to be done today. The lady never

proccessed the file so that the truck came by to move us! We fought with the

movers for over an hour as we waited for the cable at the new apartment. The

movers said they would get us moved but it would be later that afternoon

sometime. They would call. So...we were at their mercy. The cable guy didn't

come until way after 10 a.m. (he was supposed to come between 8 - 10) and turned

the cable on. We continued to move stuff back and forth all day. It wasn't too

bad because the new complex has an elevator but the old one doesn't. Up and down

the stairs we go. I got TONS of exercise but I am still so sore. The weather was

cool and it was cloudy so we weren't drenched with sweat or anything. Then the

rain came. It poured and then drizzled and then poured and it did this all day

and all night. The movers finally called and said they were on their way and

then asked HOW DO YOU GET THERE? Hello! You are movers. You should know how to

get to places to move people. Anyway....we gave them the directions and they

said they would be there in 20 minutes. It's raining even harder now and I'm

like great. All our stuff is going to get wet in the rain. If they had came

between 7 - 9 it would have been fine. Nice and sunny. Almost an hour goes

by...no movers. My roommate calls and no answer. They finally call back and

said, " I lost your paperwork. Let me call you back. " He doesn't call back. My

roommate calls the movers again and talks to the original lady he talked to and

really, really let her have it. It's now like 5 p.m. and we weren't moved. She

says, " There was a problem with the truck and they couldn't get another one. " He

just called from the truck and said he lose our paperwork! ! ! ? ? ? Another 2

hours go by and still no help and no movers. We finally called our new

apartments to see if they could help. They set us up with different movers who

could come the next day at 8 a.m. for 40.00 cheaper. We said fine. Do it. THEN

the other movers FINALLY call back and they say the same thing. We decided NOT

to go with them because they were NOT reliable. That company ALL AMERICAN MOVERS

(don't ever use them) will be hearing from us! It's now around 9 p.m. and we had

both been up for over 24 hours (no time to sleep) and hadn't eaten all day and

we were still not moved. We are now forced to pay for an extra day at our old

apartments. We went to get something to eat and pick up Jordan and get a few

things from the store. By this point we are pretty much in a fog and it's

getting late. Jordan checked out the new place and then we headed back to the

old place to get some sleep. I had to be up at 7:00 a.m. to take Jordan to the

vet for knee surgery. My roommate had to be up for the movers who would be there

right at 8 they said. Jordan had right patella repair. He knee cap keeps popping

out of place. On the way to take her for her surgery, now after 8 a.m. I call my

roommate to see if the movers showed up yet. They were supposed to be there at 8

for sure. It's now 8:35. No movers. Ugh!
