Innocuous In Innisfil 🇨🇦<p>Good Morning <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <br>Today is move in day, so what better day to share some horror stories about unscrupulous movers. Everyone has horror stories about moving from one home to another, and even our meticulously planned event has had some hiccups. Like the truck being 4.5 hours late when we moved out and getting our keys for the new house 8 hours after the deal closed. But we didn't hire anyone from this CBC investigation, so it's all good.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CanadaIsAwesome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CanadaIsAwesome</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/MovingSucks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MovingSucks</span></a><br><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/marketplace-moving-companies-1.6371262" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cbc.ca/news/canada/marketplace</span><span class="invisible">-moving-companies-1.6371262</span></a></p>
murderfox<p>welp, all our stuff is in our new apartment, as of yesterday. last night, Xan and I tag-teamed setting up my desks in the corner of the office</p><p>today I've hired someone to clean my apartment bc I have more money than energy (not that I have a lot of money, but, y'know ... even less energy), and when that's done, I'll turn in my keys and be officially out</p><p>then it's just a combo of sleeping a lot and unpacking. I AM hoping that this move will reset my sleep schedule ... I've had to wake up so early (for me) so many days in a row. maybe from now on I'll wake up at 9am instead of 2pm 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/moving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moving</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/movingSucks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>movingSucks</span></a></p>
Art H.<p><span>We keep losing rolls of packing tape, and I suspect they're somehow making their way in to the very boxes they're meant to be sealing. We've lost three so far today.<br><br></span><a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/MovingSucks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MovingSucks</a></p>
Art H.<p><span>Shopping around for a moving truck or pod is tiring. Nobody will give you a quote without surrendering your email address and phone number so they can send you continual "Let us help you with your move!" emails and texts.<br><br>They always ask when I am moving. They want an exact date, and seem frustrated when I tell them that I don't know yet. I haven't exactly pinned that down at this time and am just gathering information right now. I hate this.<br><br>I wish there was a web site like booking a flight, but for moving trucks. I want to see a list of trucks or pods that can get me from here to there, and I can compare and sort by different criteria. Is that too much to ask?<br><br></span><a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/Moving" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Moving</a> <a href="https://sharkey.world/tags/MovingSucks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MovingSucks</a></p>
Cat West<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://m.ai6yr.org/@ai6yr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>ai6yr</span></a></span> My friends had a giant move ahead. Wisely, for space practicality, they got all their boxes the same size, easy to carry. The wife numbered each box and each number had a corresponding detail of what was in it. Easy-peasy, right? They lost the list. “It was like Xmas every day as we opened boxes to find what was in them.” <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MovingSucks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MovingSucks</span></a> Necessary, but sucky.</p>
Warner Crocker<p>One of the fun parts of moving is purging. Thinking as I set up the office and everything is plugged in around the house, that it might be time to purge a few of these. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/moving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>moving</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/movingsucks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>movingsucks</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a></p>
Warner Crocker<p>Good morning. Whew. The Unicorn has a new home as the Big Move was accomplished in a speedy and thorough 3.5 hours thanks to a deft crew.
