Fuking Moving

Is there a more soul-sucking activity in all of life? Even with the assistance of professional movers, the whole process is a real drag. Sure, I trust them to move the furniture, the appliances, and some of the electronics; but things like computers, the wine collection, the crystal and china, the stuff in the fridge, and our depraved collection of meep toys and such? No fuking way. So, there is still a ton of meep that we have to move ourselves.

As if that weren't a big enough pain in the meep, there are all the little tasks that need to be done in advance of moving day; transferring utilities, scheduling cable and internets installation, filing change of address forms with the Post Office. Then there's the endless parade of well-wishers from the neighborhood stopping by to give teary hugs, all chanting "Keep in touch!!". Fuk man, we're moving like 10 miles to the next town north, not to Saskatchewan. I'm busy, stay the fuk out of my hairdo and let me get my meep done already.

Then there is the unpacking, which I intend to start on as the movers are unloading meep into the new house. Why isn't there a sister service to the professional movers that will come to your new place and tidily unpack your meep? Cost be damned, it'd be money well spent.

So, tomorrow is moving day, and because Comcast is the laziest bunch of nigers I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with, it's going to be a few days without internets, Chez Clavis. I haven't done a site survey at our new house, but I'm hoping someone has an unsecured AP. Otherwise, I'll have to tote my laptop to the Starbucks. I can't go a single day without my little series of tubes.

Any last-minute moving suggestions?

Sucks. I lucked out, when I bought my house I had three weeks to move from my apartment two blocks away. Be sure to eat yer wheaties, stay dehydrated, and offer the movers a beer on the sly when they're done.

Stay HYDRATED.

You have my pity. I fuking hate moving, yet we seem to do it on a pretty regular basis.

I let Wrecker Wife handle all the transferring utilities BS and such. I stick with stuff I am good at, mainly lifting heavy meep and moving it from point A to point B.

Only advice I have is, do not ( I MEAN meepING DO NOT) allow your wife to drive the moving truck. You are just BEGGING for the inevitable rape.

Sedate yrslef. Remain frosty. I moved 7 times in 8 years, twice across several states. Also short distances. Distance does not matter, it sucks.

I'm never moving again if I can help it.

Stay HYDRATED.

Hey, if I want Clavis to die a slow and painful death, that's my business.

I find if you leave an esky of beer on your front lawn and as people steal from it you tell them to help works a treat.

I feel your pain, Clavis. I moved 12 times in 10 years. They all sucked. I'm hoping I can stay where I am for 3 years and break the streak.

Day one: All meep got moved, nothing broken beyond repair. I found a couple of open wireless AP's in the new hood, so I can at least access internets til Comcast comes next Wednesday.

Ghost, much to your dismay, I stayed well-hydrated and didn't die.

Reminds me of the last time I moved. I didn't have anything to eat, had a couple drinks, and was all OKAY, LET'S GO, TROOP! TIME TO MOVE THE QUEEN-SIZED MATTRESS TWO FLIGHTS DOWN AND INTO THE TRUCK! Next time I moved I just left the bed behind, cuz meep that meep. Time after that I just got a new bed. Sometimes one is lazy, and sometimes stuff doesn't matter enough to stay with you.

But if it does, and it's large, yeah drink a lot of water and hope that your wife will think you're meepy with your bigger muscles even though you left her to do the hard work (dealing with animate objects) lololololol.....

Seriously though, very nice of you to admit that the woman is the one with the brains. Now go move my dresser, you ape of a man you! wink smirk j/k lol etc please don't beat me

I concur. LK & I are moving at the end of October and we're not looking forward to it. It will be my first experience trying to move with a toddler. I'm sure she's going to be into all the boxes "helping" me unpack, not neatly though. Where are you guys living now? (Please include street address and zip code for stalking purposes) Are you closer to your daughter now or farther away?

Let the baby roast rest for an hour, then have your guests help pull the meat. Everyone will have fond memories of the event to cherish FOREVER!

Just remember to give yourself plenty of time for cooking (a field-dressed baby can weigh upwards of 30 lbs and take a FULL DAY to cook!)

Do you keep them penned up like veal and infuse them with formula or mother's milk? I hear formula fed babies have a medicinal taste. I don't want that for the party.... I would be a terrible host.
