gementThank you to everyone who responded to my frantic 9p.m. call on Tuesday. (For those of you not involved, Jason's slumlord was being... difficult, so we had to get everything out by 10a.m. Wednesday instead of waiting for the 3p.m. U-Haul arrival.)
Particular thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hesperide for coaching me through the last couple evenings and keeping a cool head when the situation started going kaflooey. Thanks to plantae and ilmarinen for driving out of their way and ivolucien for cancelling plans and bringing a hand truck, and to dkitty and her partner for interrupting their evening together.
It took the whole gang, but we did it. We also took pictures and left a very clear letter (kept a copy) documenting our move-out cleaning. Documentation is one's friend when dealing with one's slum lord. I am working on reminding myself that I still have a history of drama-free moves. This is Jason's drama, not mine. I just pitched in to help fix it.
Now we get to do it again this evening (Wednesday). Still scant on the help thing. Please call 206-228-7952 if you can be there this evening, or even if you can't. We need helpers or at least cheerers-on starting at about 4 and going until whenever.
On a complete tangent, Ivo pointed out that I'd get better results if I called my friends individually, which brings me to the depressing realization that I wanted to, BUT: I have hardly anyone's number, let alone e-mail address, and I'm not sure who would want to be bothered.
This lack of organization puts big holes in my friend safety net, and I'm not sure how to organize my information to fix it. I lose or misplace my e-mail address book every time I switch addresses, which seems to be every year or so, and I rarely get phone numbers, plus they seem to change frequently. Don't even ask me about addresses; the lack of them is the main barrier to my ever corresponding with anyone. I try to keep a standard address book and I fail. Any suggestions from people who have overcome this would be welcome.

Date: 2005-08-31 04:21 pm (UTC)We can talk about this later, after all the moving excitement calms down. I may be able to help with this issue... I'm actually pretty good at this kind of organizing, in spite of possible contrary visual cues. My apartment may be a mess, but it's an organized mess. ;)
On my own tangent... food for the moving crew tonight looks like a good hot soup and bread, vegetarian so as to accomodate the most people. If it stays cool and cloudy, this should be a perfect movers supper. I'll pick up some disposable bowls or cups at the store so we don't have a lot of dishes to fight afterwards. Keep you cel on so I can call you when it's suppertime?
HUGS & HAPPY-NESS!
You're almost finished with the move. :)
