My things are in Queens in a super secret bat cave location, to be moved up the crazy stairs at 8am tomorrow by people we pay good money to complain a lot until they run out of breath and can't complain anymore, then we offer them beverages.
You know what I like about Dawg? I'm a nasty cuntass bitch in his general direction, I apologize for it, and he gives me a hug and the concerned boyfriend face and says, "oh, Poppy, what are you sorry for???" Instead of yelling at me he loves me and tells me I'm awesome. See? Best Boyfriend award, right there.
So, yah, I was slightly psychotic yesterday. Not too, too bad but when we rolled into town at 9pm last night with two tasks still ahead of us — unpack the truck and return the truck — I was really super pissed that I could not find a parking spot because all the parking in that area has either been turned into bus depots or is eaten up by people who'd rather walk half a mile than pay $3 for parking at the mall.
I don't know if Dawg plans to tell any more of the story, but at 1am we finally got back to the apartment, a truck lighter although it's not officially turned in yet because WHAT U HAUL LOCATION DOESN'T HAVE A DROP BOX?! OH, THE ONLY ONE ON THE LIST NEARBY THAT WASN'T OUT OF BUSINESS OR TURNED INTO A FUCKING LAUNDRY MAT, THAT'S WHICH ONE. "We have security cameras watching you." WELL HOW ABOUT THIS IMAGE OF ME FLIPPING YOU THE PEACE AND LOVE BECAUSE YOU COCKSUCKERS WOULD RATHER HAVE DROP BOXES FOR APPLICATIONS OF YOUR GAS CARD THAN KEYS TO ALL THE U HAULS PARKED AT YOUR PuMPS BY PEOPLE DESPERATE TO OFFLOAD THEIR TRUCKS?!
If I get over there today and the U Haul has been TICKETED or TAGGED or VANDALIZED IN ANY WAY I AM GOING TO CALL U HAUL AND PUNCH THEM IN THE NOSE THROUGH THE PHONE.
Lesson learned: It's a really good idea to say "hi" in the morning before all the stressful stuff so the day isn't as stressful. We both slept like a baby after the "hi". (Yes, you needed to know that.)
I'm guessing none of my rant makes any sense, but you'll have to excuse me as I need to hurry up and turn in the truck properly so I can then sit at the apartment waiting for various delivery services to deliver packages.
Hugs and slightly still bitchy kisses,
Poppy
There's nothing like the morning hi!
So glad you got your stuff.
And I so understand that about the hug in the face of 'cuntyass bitchiness'. Very very cool
The morning "hi" is my favorite "hi".
Followed very closely by the afternoon "hi", the evening "hi" and the late night "hi".
Um, gotta go say "hi" now.
BE makes some excellent points ;-)
You rant in such a cute way.
Glad to hear that you got your furniture though. That's a positive, right?
Bitchy kisses are better than no kisses at all.
Wow, he is a nice boyfriend… To hug instead of throwing it back in some sort of "The match is ON" event.
And yes, UHAUL should have a drop box for those later returns.
Ah, the joys of moving. Makes me remember, not-so-fondly, the move from Houston to Dallas nearly five years ago, where, upon walking into our rental house, I promptly burst into tears because of the sheer stress of the whole matter. Never again will I move my own things - I don't care if it costs me $10,000.
Dawg IS a super boyfriend! Can't wait to finally meet him in Dec….
Awww, Dawg. Can we clone him?
Moving suuucks.
Dawg and Poppy rock!
Awww Hon! Seems like you had a bit of Murphy's Law thing going on.
Hope you were able to turn in the truck this a.m. without any further problems
Now have that nap!!!
I totally get every bit of this post. It reminds me of similar experience (in the feelings it generated, not the actual events) so all I can say is "Thank goodness that day is OVER!".
So, what kind of deliveries are you waiting for? I hope one of them is pizza because I love pizza.
Hi!
I learned too late that responding to bitchiness is a great smile, a warm hug and "is there anything I can do to help." The defensive, word-slappy a-hole way might seem more fun and justified at the time, but results may vary.
Hi! (no batteries included)
Is saying "hi" the same as playing laser tag?
this post was awesome…part terrific boyfriend, part frustrated, part batcave, part sex. life is good.
Turn, his hugs make all the bad go away.
BEE-bzzt, I'm with you on that. Anytime is the perfect time for a little hi. Or a big Hi.
Turn, agreed!
Lisa, yes, and in less than 8 hours a couch will be in my living room instead of the hallway!
Chicka, I toooootally agree.
Marty, we won't use U-Haul again. There are Budget dropoffs EVERYWHERE here.
B, the most frustrating part is that we did use movers for everything, just not that part from VT to our new home directly because it would be very hard for us to have a guaranteed time of being back in NY for the movers to take things out of the truck. Oh well. Next time everything is in one place so it all goes with us in one shot, and we'll plan ahead for the couch disassembly.
Finn, no.
Sybil, I whole-heartedly agree about the suckage.
DB, no such luck, the U-Haul thing only got worse, but it's all better now!
Sour, I was waiting for my desk and a DVD Dawg ordered. Oh, I'm waiting for him to do something with them, but Dawg let me borrow his camera to take pictures of a black squirrel. I got a really good shot of him that I hope he puts up soon. I said you specifically would like it.
Naughty BB!! *giggle*
Wah, so, you're, like, on your tenth marriage after being in jail for domestic violence most of your life? Or what?
K, or checkers.
Hola, apparently life is supposed to be frustrating or else we don't appreciate the good stuff.
