So.
harald387 bailed on me after no sleep. I woke him up at 8:30 AM by ringing his doorbell and giving him an armchair. For some reason, this did not persuade him to help me carry stuff.
aimisdirty no-showed completely. He's a jerk...
...but Frances and
zenten and Ian showed up to help lift heavy stuff.
So I bought them all lunch, and we carried lots of stuff, and I have my wonderful new apartment with furniture and my bed and stuff. I set up my bed as my #1 priority, but haven't even made sure that my carefully coddled computer survived the trip. Well, then, I hear you asking, how am I posting this?
The answer is simple. Since I've been up since 6AM and lifting heavy stuff all day long, it's now 9 PM and I'm AT WORK! Until 8AM tomorrow morning![1]
Stay tuned to LiveWeaselRadio, all night long, as I get progressively lower on sleep and higher on caffeine!
It's going to be a fun trip.

[1]: Gotta love my job. Office job, Monday -> Friday, 9ish->5ish - except *THIS* weekend. This weekend, I had to come in on Saturday for a four-hour shift. Just Saturday, for just 4 hours, in midafternoon - and for some stupid reason[2], I traded shifts to get a pair of overnights instead. Starting on moving day.
[2]: Said stupid reason being the coworker's wife's birthday and irrefundable tickets, since we were all told we'd have one shift *during the day* on the weekend, and he was the single unlucky guy to get saddled with the marketing chimp's requirement of an "extra overnight guy" for the opening weekend's events. As an incidental aside, I am making mad corporate go-to-guy brownnoser points and he owes me, big time.
