I don’t yet have a new roommate lined up – though a couple hopefuls are in the works.
But the existing roomie is moving out ASAP (gee darn) and has movers scheduled to show up at 12:00 tomorrow. She almost started packing last night. And by almost, I mean she appears to have built about seven boxes.
This reminds me of Christmas time last year, when she had a 5:45 flight to Toronto, and didn’t actually leave work before 4:30 that day. She arrived back at the apartment at about 5:00, and I basically had to throw her (helpless and bawling) and her mostly-packed suitcase in a cab and pray that she made her flight – with a promise that if there was anything she forgot, I’d pack it up and courier it to her there, just so she would leave already. I was not about to have her stick around and deal with her over the holidays.
I predict murderous rage and chaos coming soon to a weblog near you.
How in the hell do people live like that? Not unpacking their boxes for three weeks? The day i move, it’s almost a garuntee that at least 90% of what i own will be unpacked before i let myself go to sleep.
In fact, when i moved out of my parents place i spent until 9pm unpacking. By the time i was finished my room actually looked like it had been “home” to me longer than anybody else who lived in the house.
I’d try to not be home, but I suspect this will last at least a week. The movers may show up and take the heavy things tomorrow, but I’m guessing all her other random crap will hang around a bit longer. When she moved in, it took her an entire month to do it (and another 3 weeks before she unpacked it all).
this is why i need to fly you out to me, and we’ll go skiing. *grins*
recommendation: Don’t be home. 🙂
