July 17th, 2005unpacking is a bitch
Do you know how much stuff people accumulate? Stupid stuff—knicknacks, trinkets and an abnormal amount of kitchen accoutrement—anyone need a fondue pot or a set of martini glasses (I have three… they were gifts. So what does that say about me…?)?
This morning I realized that I needed to contact my landlord… but I surprisingly did not have her number. No matter, that’s what whitepages.com is for—although my mother informed me that getting cable and internet access the hour I moved in, and not getting my landlord’s number, was quite telling about my priorities… hehehe. 😉
As it turns out, I should’ve checked to see if my stove was working… why, you ask? Because the hot water heater is neither broken or turned off. No, it’s the gas. So I have to call the gas company tomorrow to turn it back on.. until then, cold showers. Argh.
Other than that, the only other obnoxiousness is that the air conditioner is not installed yet. Sigh. Oh well.. at least I haven’t broken anything this morning, unlike the guest who emailed me this picture…
With this subject line: “My life sucks today because..” And this picture caption: “She’s gonna be pissed”
Subsequent emails have uncovered… the guest hates soap scum. LOL
“There was some soap scum I couldn’t get to, so I lifted the glass out to clean it. It just shattered in my hands.”
Ah, good times…
Packing and unpacking is a nightmare. i just moved from Poland and I have boxes beyond boxes. Most of which I am still waiting to recieve through the Polish postal service, which has the usefullness of ice cubes in hell…

I only moved across town—I can’t imagine moving to another country.
My first move was across the states, but countries—yikes.
