Moving on...South

Good Morning!

I am moving to a new apartment this weekend and all I can say is, Eep!

There is so much to do and so little time left. I always start packing really early because I get so excited about it, then I get less excited when I realize I've packed a bunch of things I thought I wouldn't need, but totally did need.

So I stop packing for a couple of weeks and then all of a sudden it's time to move. Oops! I spent all of last weekend gathering up odds and ends and throwing them in boxes. I also forgot to label a lot of the boxes. Some say that crazy! I say it's like a game! What all is in this unlabeled box?! Who knows?! Certainly not me.

I've moved every year for the past 5 years and would really like this place to stick for awhile. Especially since it's on the 3rd floor and moving all of this stuff down three flights of stairs again in one year seems like a monumental undertaking. I would really like to be settled for awhile.

Also, I'll have a fireplace and no one living above me!

How I hate upstairs neighbors with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. Previous neighbors have enjoyed furniture moving once or twice a week, vacuuming at 3:00 am, playing the trumpet (not even kidding) and something that can only be described as sounding like bowling while using their 2 year old daughter as the ball.

Ah, the freedom of being on the top floor.

So, 4 days in counting until the big move! Wish me luck!

Seriously?

I hate it when people do not know how to spell the (non)word y'all.

It is a contraction of YOU and ALL. Not a contraction of YA and ALL.

Also, why can people not spell definitely? Basically you're describing something that is definite. Definitely. NOT definately. Definate is not even a word. It would be cool if it were a word, but it is DEFINITELY not a word.

Something else that is sort of off the subject, but also warrants ranting about.

At work we have a group of people that are "assistants." They really just touch everything and mess it up before it gets to the more important people, i.e. me. They have recently learned the phrase "Please advise." Oh geez. At this point it has become so overused that I totally ignore it and don't give anyone any advice about anything and just do it myself.

Example,

We got this from this place, but they say they have a different address. Please advise.

ADVISE YOU ON WHAT?! What advice do you need? Stop being dumb? That's some pretty solid advice.

In lieu of yelling at little 18 year old girls, I just do it myself.

I'm definitely out of here y'all.
