Firstly - mods, DaDairyDruid and I weren't sure where this should go, so move appropriately. Secondly, this is being typed on my iPhone so it is subject to typos.
DaDairyDruid and I are trying to move. I say trying because it hasn't and were still in the old place while we have some items at the new place. I'm sure you're wondering why. Well, pull up a chair, grab a drink and be prepared to say 'da fuq?'
It all started with us hiring a company who was supposed to move is this past Saturday. I get a call from the contact at said company who says that four of his workers have called in sick and that he can only send two instead if three guys. But, he says, we'll get a discount rate. Okay. I should have known this was the start of our problems.
The two guys show up, look around, I sign paperwork and I figure all is well. Not so, a few minutes later, they come back saying they can't the move because the furniture is too dirty and there is pet hair everywhere. Oh and the bed was a mess.
Okay. Now it was moderately dusty, something that could have taken less than 15 minutes. The pet hair didn't take long to take care of either. The bed? I was getting ready to strip it when they showed up.
So Saturdays move was a bust. I reschedule for Sunday.
Sunday arrives. No call from the company. So I have to call. Guy says they should be there any minute. Three different guys show up. They spend five minutes looking around all three floors. Then two of them disappear, leaving me with one guy who I suspect was the only honest one of them of the lot.
The two return saying they can't the move because they are severely allergic to cats. My mind is calling BS because if they were that allergic they would not have spent as much time in the house as they did, but I kept my mouth shut. The other guy? He wanted me to rent a Uhaul and he'd find two other guys to move our stuff. Of course it had to be paid in cash. I kept saying no, I don't have the cash. He even kept insisting while I had DaDairyDruid on the phone.
So of you've followed along so far then you'll have to get some Elvis muffins from DaDairyDruid (peanut butter banana muffins).
