The Move

Done!  Thursday I picked up a small U Haul truck. Cost me $59 for the day (I always take their overpriced insurance – still about the price of a case of beer). Hired two men out of a temp labor shop. Both were “on paper” but were decent workers. Two loads for the five miles between the old digs and the new place. One more trip to take my middle son’s stuff to a storage shed I’ve rented for years.

He’s moved out a year and a half ago but still hasn’t picked up all of his stuff. (Yeah, I know I shouldn’t let him slide but I’m an indulgent parent).

The new place is quite nice. Brad new. All of us here are the very first residents.

Once again my dislike of the government, at any level, was reinforced. The place is operated by the county housing authority. One vastly overworked woman was on site to process the 96 units. 

A “compliance” officer located in Denver had to sign off on everything. Said functionary wanted “pay stubs”. Fuck! It has been years since I worked a job with pay stubs.  Getting the paperwork in the fashion wanted was a PITA. They had already decided as a productive citizen I made too much money. Dropped the medical courier job and had document that. It wasn’t until Wednesday afternoon, 1/30 I was approved. I had to be out of where I was living 1/31.

Courtesy of my sister I had a plan “B”. Those who know me well know how much I hate “pulling things out of my ass”. I plan, checklist, timetable, etc. Many readers will understand I operate in a CPA/CPM method.

 My sister calls this over thinking.

While I dropped the medical courier job, I continued to work off the books until they found a replacement. Spent today training him. Now I really am done.

The unpacking and organizing will consume the coming week.

About 2/3s of the residents are females, all over 62. Many have ankle biter dogs. Several are busy organizing this and that. I suspect my social life will take an uptick. 

Maybe more?
