That's all of it
Jun 5, 2004The movers finished in one day but it took me seven more round trips over that and the following two days to get the last of our stuff to the new apartment. nI am expert at packing the Volkswagen but we are not expert at packingnfor a move and there was a room-sized pile of things- bags of clothes, computer equipment, potted plants, foodstuffs and odd-sized/shaped or fragile- thatnneed to be hand moved. nEven with the top down there is a limit to how much you can hope to move nin one trip. nThis long weekend, while I suffered more than sixteen hours of torments fromnthe bitch goddess of travellers, “Traffic”, Maria unpacked and found placesnfor our things. nMy routine consisted of waking up early to get a jump on the other drivers thenna lather, rinse repeat cycle of checking the traffic reports on AM radio to try and ngame the highways, driving the all of 25 miles door to door, spendingnthirty to forty minutes loading the car, repeating the radio check and nreturning (losing, and spending more time in traffic) and in twentynminutes unload car. Then, before turning around to do it again, I would movenwhat ever heavy things need to be positioned and take something to eat on nthe way.
