My Big Move
Tomorrow, I will be moving out of my sublet and into my nice new place closer downtown in Andersonville. I'll be out of internet service at home for a little while--although I will have access at work during short breaks...oh, who am I kidding, I'll be messing around online at work a lot--until the Comcast technician comes the week after next to install our cable. He would have come next week, but Deanna's little bachelorette party at our place got in the way. I told her she should just have the cable guy strip. No, I will not be there, although Deanna said she and the girlies wouldn't mind if I took the cable guy's place...
While I'm glad I am finally moving tomorrow, I must say the exact moving date was up in the air until today. At first today, I was put out after receiving yet another call from the body shop telling me this time they still had to install the temperature control unit and it would take until next Tuesday or Wednesday. That's three weeks after I delievered it to them, and two weeks after they originally told me it would be finished. I know for sure by this point they are just jerking me around, making up excuses for not being able to finish on time. And this is the place my insurance company (which is actually quite good) recommended. I knew the guy on the phone was lying through his teeth, because I told him I absolutely had to have a car this weekend to move, and that the shop should pay for a rental until I get my car back, and he quickly acceded. So fortunately, I do have ample transportation, although it is limited space (I got a Hyundai Elantra.
Tomorrow is going to be one extremely busy day. I'm taking Eviatar to the airport in the early morning. Then, I have tentative plans to pick up a TV I saw on craigslist (hey, at least I can watch movies and play XboX before the cable comes). And then I have the rest of the day to move. I don't have too much stuff with me, as my parents are bringing the remaining furniture and clothes up in a few weeks, so it probably won't be more than two car loads.
Oh, and I got to see Scottiyang and his new place in Onterie (on Erie, near where I work). He's got a sweet pad with one other buddy in med school with a beautiful view of the construction plank blocking his window. Lovely. I'm excited, because I got him excited about cycling, in pretty much the same fashion that Eviatar got me into it. He'd been thinking about doing it, and he seemed much more interested after hearing that I'm really into cycling now. Eviatar is abandoning me for *more important* things, like going back to school. Thus, I will not have a bike buddy to work. So hopefully Scott can fill that void.
Enough writing--I have to be up in 5 hours!!
