Wow, I have a lot of stuff...I'd definitely better stick to my goal of unpacking every single box by the end of July. But after today, I am not planning on moving for a REALLY long time. REALLY LONG!!! BWAHAHAA The last time I moved it was easy because I had nothing to move. But over five years, one can accumulate a lot of stuff!

So...the movers showed up half an hour late this morning, which was kind of good because when they got there, I got a call from my new building caretaker to tell me that the elevator wasn't working AGAIN! And could I wait before moving? Uhhh....when the movers are here, how do I wait? There was only a bit of yelling from me...I asked them if they were going to pay my movers to wait around. Luckily, my movers didn't have another move to tend to and they said I could keep my stuff in their truck overnight, need be.

So after three (!) hours, all my stuff got loaded into the truck. It took three guy three hours to load all my stuff!! There was a short distance to walk from the elevator to the truck, I guess. I talked to the building caretaker who said the two technicians were working on the elevator. Then my mom yelled at him for a bit. I know people can't control an elevator breaking down, but he could have made better suggestions. Oh, another brilliant suggestion the caretaker was for me to unload all my belongings in the lobby and move the "small things" myself by taking the stairs. Only...you can't exit the stairs to my floor. He asked if my movers could wait. Ugh. My movers said they would be on standby.

My laid back French Canadian movers went for a lunch break, and I went out for lunch too. When we were finishing up, the caretaker called to let me know the elevator was fixed (for now, I guess. BWAHAHAA). I called my movers to see if they were still available to finish the move today and they were. Praise them!

When I got to my new building, they were pressure washing the outside!!!!! They were washing higher up above the main entrance, and they were washing the ground...the ground that my stuff would have to travel over. I was not impressed. The caretaker attempted to ask them to work elsewhere for a bit. I don't think they really listened. But then when I was upstairs, they were painting or something near my floor and I chatted with them, too. Nice frienly young men! BWAHAHA

So my movers unloaded stuff. The cute one unloaded the elevator to my suite, and we chatted. He was very curious about my pole. One of the other guys thought it was a stripper pole, and cutie wasn't sure so he asked me about it. And then he asked me about pole dancing. He also asked me if that was my profession. Do I really look like a dancer?! BWAHAA Anyway, he noted my muscular shoulders...figured I was good. He was flirty with me and pleasant to talk with.

After 2 and 3/4 of an hour, they finished unloading my stuff. Nothing got broken although one lamp that was on its last legs will need some repair. It can't stand up anymore!

I'm just SO glad the move was completed today. Too bad I couldn't really do any unpacking. It was a 9 - 5 job! Overall, impressed with the movers and NOT impressed with my property management company. And definitely not impressed with the caretaker.

Oh and hair and dust balls mixed together are really gross.
