Re:Moving so sucks
😡 Well, the frey, I was going to cough up some homey comforting words about how there are good things about moving– like how you can jettison a lot of stuff you don’t really need. But then I realized that even now, years after my last series of moves, I still catch myself saying “Hey what happened to the -instert missing appliance or household item- bamboo veggie steamer – chinese planter–bookcase–books– we had?”
Right now I am totally OBSESSED with the office move I am going to have to endure in the middle of classes next semester. The college that I worked for actually hired a group of “moving coordinators” who don’t actually do any packing or moving. They just talk to you about it (for less than an hour). The lady from the moving coordinators explained her job to us by saying that she was like a wedding planner but for moving. (Doesn’t everyone hate wedding planners, or is it just me?) I was DYING to know what these people got paid to explain to us morons in the math department how to open a cardboard box and stick a label on it!!
I was going to explain why I am worried about it NOW, but really it is too much– the office allocation is like the mad tea party, with people moving in and out of offices, different departments ousting each other, the administration ousting faculty to take the primo offices, all starting now and continuing through the next term.
I think I will take on the character of the doormouse and try to sleep through it.
