Events of move, continued from previous entry…
Worked Tues., Wed., Thurs. Still a blur of uncharted territory. Made plans to go to NYC next week to get into the groove. Im going to love this job, but it might be the death of me!
Some vendors that I knew from my old job were in town to see my new company on Thursday. They invited me to dinner Thursday night. Had so much fun! Got ripped. And then got completely lost on my way back to the hotel! Made few drunk phone calls as I wandered my way down unfamiliar streets. One to Super T because I desperately miss him. One to Canuk in New York to let him know that Ill be in town next week. One to my OD friend who lives here to ask for directions and to hopefully get talked through it all. Nobody answered. They all mustve had their drunk blockers loaded into their phones. Wah. But I eventually made it.
Truck Driver called me at 6:30 Friday morning to let me know that he was there and waiting for me! Um. Ouch. I was hungover and hungry. I got up and got dressed, and we ended up finding a great little breakfast hole in the wall. TD and I had hilarious conversation over coffee and breakfast. Hes really witty, and quite charming and bent over backwards to make sure that all of my stuff was treated with extra special care. He and the other guys did a really good job. Especially considering my move was to the top floor of a really old building and the elevator was questionable at some points. I made sure to tip them all really well. Gave TD an extra $20 because he was so awesome. He refused to take it at first, but I told him to get his kids a treat or something.
Got a phone call after the movers left. It was TD. He was supposed to be driving to Nashville, but told me that he had some extra time and asked if I wanted to have a beer with him. I told him that Id love to, but I had to wait for the cable guy to come. So he asked me if Id like a beer and some company while I waited. HELL YEAH!! My truck driver brought ME some beer! And lunch, no less!! How much does that rock?! We laughed and ate and drank and smoked a couple of cigs before the cable guy got here. TD stayed and joked around with the cable guy until he realized that he was never gonna make it to Nashville if he didnt get a move on. We hugged. I hugged my truck driver!!
Alone again. First night in my new place. I barely started unpacking, and I hopped on the computer until I was bleary eyed. Slept like a baby last night.
And that pretty much takes us to now. Im still buried in boxes. And I desperately need a cup of coffee. Im going to close at this point and search for java.
Ever unpacking,
GS
