We moved yesterday from a rental apartment (a temporary place after selling our house) to a Coop apartment building nearby. This is an unbelieveable story - Joe Bpflsk (sp?) surely is following us.

Yesterday the movers were supposed to show up at 8 to pack us (We decided to let them do it instead of us). They then said 9 - and showed up at 10:15. Upon walking in they said "You don't look ready." They were there to MOVE us, not to PACK us. No one ever came to pack. So they had to start packing. The place we were moving to has house rules that won't allow moving after 6. So by 2:00 they were still packing, and a decision was made to get our furniture & stuff moved, and finish today. As they started carrying things from our apt, onto the elevator & then onto the truck, the elevator dropped dead. Only one elevator in this building. It would not be fixed until evening. They loaded alot of stuff back into our apt to do today. Most of the big stuff was already in the truck.
So they arrive at our new place around 3:30, start to unload, and the skies opened up - heavy, torrential rains. They were drenched. They managed to cover our stuff pretty well though. It was about 90 degrees & 100% humidity, so it was hot a heck in the apt even with the A/C going. As they are unloading through the rain, the power went out in the neighborhood from the storm. So now they are working in the dark & with no A/C. They finally get everything in & stuff put together by 6:30, and leave, to return to finish today.

They again arrive 1t 10 - 2 hours late - and again, the elevator went out! But even before it went out (It was only out a few minutes this time) someone else is moving out & using that same single elevator!

So do you want to hear about the Cable guy who showed up today to install cable who said "I don't think I have enough wire," and also did not have the correct cable box?

What a couple of days this has been! We are badly in need of a cruise - 6 weeks to go!
