thinkin baout moving

hey, me too

time to get excited

http://diamondcreative.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/excited2.jpg

i hope those guys will give me a job

there is some stuff i will miss, here

is it moving day yet

i wish.

mostly i am so tired of it being WINDY every day UGH

this part of america should be destroyed by 100 tornadoes imo

i am late for work because i was lusting after spacious west coast apartments, with views.

i moved into a new office for job today

it has fire alarm system, sprinklers, working mail chutes, heat, air conditioning, and janitors. all these things the old bldg didn't have can u believe it

LOL @ the old building catching fire today at noon

place i worked at last year didn't have hot water! dressing rooms with showers, but no hot water lol

oh yeah it only had one type of water at a time: either hot or cold but you couldn't really choose
also the elevators were so slow i quit using them, and during the fire today the news says one got stuck on the 7th floor

yay i found apartment (not officially but sort of). Moving Day is fast approaching!!!

lol jk

lol jk

i am moving in 24 days

i wonder if a box will fall on your head

i've wondered that too. i was hoping something good would happen while/after i moved but maybe something bad like that will happen. who knows anymore.

maybe it will be a blessing in disguise.

a cunt of a blessing.

oh dear

you cant suggest ban on this board

that was a quote, my friend told me she borrowed an evening bag for a formal thing she was going to from a very ladylike friend of hers who then said in a posh voice, you should keep it if you want to, it's a cunt of a bag.

estela

we have punctuation marks for those

i just responded to a sublet ad!
maybe this is really happening!

what neighborhood? what month?

july 1, it was a few blocks from volunteer park, but they haven't replied to me :(
maybe sublet r3my's place, though...

finding apt was so annoying. you have to reload craigslist all day basically and jump on things in the first 10 min. in my experience. i am subletting until aug 15 bc i didn't wanna do a year without seeing it, also don't know how much money i'll have in 3 months. could be a lot, could be none!

what city?

the greatest city in america

the greatest city in america needs lawyers? not so great then huh

i have been eying listings for the past month or so and i keep seeing tons of repeats, but yeah, don't really wanna rent a place til i'm there and have an idea where i will be working/spending most of my time, so i think sublet is the way to go! those probably go faster, though.

jerkins

WHAT CITY?

BALTIMORE

AKA THE GREATEST CITY IN AMERICA

stalking amon has gone too far imo

srsly jerkins where the hell have you been harbl's been talking baout bmore for ages.

he STOLE MY baltimore thread

did you tell your parents your moving there for a boy you haven't met yet?

(not that there's anything wrong with that, just askin)

are you really gonna move w/o a job lined up, tza??

i don't have a job here after may 13 and it's cheaper to live there, so yeah.

seems
healthy. better than being regretful and sad all the time

je regrette rien

^ne

lol

yeah
my friend i would most likely visit is going to germany soon too, and another thing
sometimes i really like it here and would like to stay forever but i don't know barely anyone :(

it takes a long time to make friends in a new city. ive been in ny for more than a year and i still havent made any new friends. i was lucky enough to have some old friends tho. and a girlfriend.

and the internet.

and

the internet

lyfe amirite

i'm not homesick anymore. ohio sux. i'm staying here forever.

did u make a friend

no i visited ohio

what a moving thread

OOPS WRONG WASHINGTON LOL

wtf r u doin?!?!?!!?

moving

It's spring; your lease is up; time to move....ACROSS THE WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY!!!!

Well done, btw, and congrats!

i don't even have a lease! haw.

thank you :)

i am sad, i love seattle. but i am really, really excited about this job!

i am excited for you! can't wait to visit!

we'll go have tea with the president or something

that's awesome no one gets jobs anymore

thanks! it was the first non-seattle job i applied for, oddly.

hey and wow and congratulations

thanks.

i feel a little overwhelmed at the idea of packing again :( :(

srsly thinking a move might be in the future. like in the next few months. or sooner.
georgetown seattle here we go

tza when ur job start??

no one gets jobs anymore

lol

georgetown seattle

the sandbox, from georgetown east to georgetown west

gonna work near georgetown, dc.
sandbox synergy, yo.

i did not set start date yet (pending final salary negotiation), but soon!

lots of tax deductions available if you move more than 200 miles for a job! Boxes, temporary storage, hotels, moving van rental, etc. Have done this twice - it was worth researching and keeping receipts. Deductible even if you don't itemize iirc.

Everyone is moving but us :( I think we're all moved out maybe.

yes! i was looking into that the other day. so many deductions :D :D :D

but damn, cross-country twice in 10 months is a bit extreme :(

this is all happening so fast i am freaking out

ps anyone want some stuff? lol

Mr. Jaq is gonna want those books back b4 you go b/c he is just that way about books. If you haven't read yet I'll send you new ones for dc placewarming. Also, if you need help packing maybe I could help? Wld have to be next week though.

yeah definitely! also those manuals! i did not finish books yet but i doubt i will have time before i leave but i can always go to library, etc :)

i am going to see what i can accomplish this weekend but maybe packing party next week or weekend?

btw, you know our Mad Men watching friend MM has done this back-n-forth bicoastal move stuff a lot! (SEA-NYC-SEA-NYC in 4 yrs! and moving back to SEA in another year probably!) He shipped/mailed most of his stuff last time.

i did that when i came out but i am really attached to my bed and figured that trying to sell it and the couch and then re-buy back east would not be v lucrative as opposed to just shipping everything in relocube, which is only a few hundred more than it cost me to ship everything in june!

yeah, when my son moved to FL, he compared renting truck/driving vs. moving company vs. door-to-door moving (pod things) - he squeezed all his stuff into one pod and didn't cost much at all.

reading moving company reviews had me so terrified that even though some quoted lower prices than the pod i just feel a little more at ease with the pod situation.

uhaul is not expensive but by the time you add gas + hotels it would be a lot... but man, a cross-country trip would be so awesome! i am considering taking the train for 42 hours instead. montana! and you can check 3 bags free (as opposed to planes, where you have to pay).

lol pushed a week so i don't go crazy

good luck with everything, tehresa, and congratulations! i hope you like your new job and town.

don't wanna go ;_;

moving day!

you have so many moving days! i'd like to move too but not until my job thing is straightened out and i get a car

this is moving day just to my new, very own apartment (also getting car today).
i have not packed anything yet but i am going to go watch a soccer match and then come do that later.

tuesday will be moving day 2.0 because the CUBE is coming then :)

We moved yesterday (phase 1). Today I can barely move at all.

Congrats on new very own apartment! Also car!

we are moving this week!!!

ended up not moving but i got keys.
car got totaled before it ever got here ;_;
congrats jaq and smoove!

since we were talking about fancy soap on this thread, i got some new soap and it smells ok but the smell is stuck on me now and i'm afraid i smell like an old lady. I'M SO MAD!!!!
