Post -move (and Post- summer) HumorThings you didn't want to hear from your movers: I'm all alone. I'm hurt. I'm new to this stuff. How do my uniforms look? (It's my first day). You want all this done today? It won't fit there. We can't get it out of the house. We can't get it in the house. The estimator was wrong. There is an extra charge for that. We just backed into a Volvo out there...is it yours? We will be back tommorrow to finish. Sorry you won't have your bed tonight. Things we didn't want to hear you say: We're moving? You've got the wrong house. No, next Monday is moving day. The painters are almost done. The rug installers are almost done. The foundation is almost done. We'd like to switch some things around. Put the piano there, for now. My mother will be here later, to help. My car keys are in my dresser (in the van). My plane tickets are in my dresser (in the van). Anyone seen the cats? I've packed a lot of things myself. I'll just need a minute to grab a few things. (Coming to the door in your pajamas) "Do you guys have an extra coffee?" Summer's insanity is over for us, for this year. Perhaps your move is over, too. For both of us, perhaps it wasn't a perfect process. Humor helps. Feel free to add your own to the list. (Start a discussion group, email me with the good ones.)
