The ambiguous address

Moving was not as hard as I thought. The two weeks leading up to it sucked - but the actual two days of loading and unloading a truck was, by comparison, cake.

My stuff is in Buffalo, but I'm not. I'm staying at my parent's place so I can keep working for a little while. The money is alright, but I'd be going stir crazy with nothing to do for 6 weeks. Adjusting to a new apartment doesn't take very long. Assuming, of course, that you're there for it.

Don't worry, I'll have something real to write about soon enough.

Cheap tape and Uhaul

My current employer likes me. I received a great deal of packing tape. Normally that would be a great thing, seeing as I'm moving. Turns out they got the wrong tape, it's flimsy. They need to get rid of it, and I'm the perfect guy for it.

By flimsy, I mean it can't hold one hundred pounds of the various materials we ship out.

I move next week. Packing the truck on Thursday, and unpacking in Buffalo Friday. Can't write much more than that - I'm pretty tired from packing. And the lack of sleep. Mostly the latter.

Cardboard jungle

My apartment is filled with boxes. They're everywhere - on top of the couch, in front of the TV, piled onto the round chair I veg out on when I'm glued to my GameCube - I can't get away from them. What makes it worse is that I don't have enough. I need more. More will come, of course, but... I don't hate it as much as I thought I would.

I'm just stricken with my need for more cardboard.
