My New Kentucky Home

My stuff arrived on Tuesday, how about that? Naturally, the day started off in a heavy downpour, which rapidly gave way to thunderstorms. There seems to be a trend building here, where if I'm involved in something that can be adversely affected by rain, it rains. Apparently I am Louisville's new rainmaker.

All Hail the Rain King!!

Fortunately, the guy who was supposed to help the driver of the moving van unload it quit. I say fortunately because it took a couple hours to both find a replacement and unload some stuff for another delivery, and by the time all of that happened, the skies over Louisville had reluctantly given way to a distinct lack of precipitation.

And now much of my stuff is stacked neatly in boxes, much else is set up and being used (like my bed, futon, and fans). I've only unpacked a few dishes, just enough to get by, since I'll be moving again soon.

Oh yay.

Auuuuuggghhhhh!

Good grief!! Thanks to a small mix-up on my lease papers, my cable, phone, and INTERNET won't be hooked up until the TWENTY-FREAKING-EIGHTH!!! Auuuuugggggghhhhhh!!!

But, on the bright side, I won't have the bulk of my things until Wednesday or Thursday anyway, so I guess it isn't that big of a deal, right?

I'm trying not to hyperventilate...

Tomorrow is my interview at Trane. If you're superstitious, wish me luck, burn incense, chant, or whatever floats your particular boat. And thank you for your support.

Holy Crap...

... I'm homeless!
... This trip is taking forever
... These drivers in Ohia suck
... These drivers in Kentucky literally have no idea what a blinking amber light on one side of my car's rear means
... I'm here, and no longer homeless!

... my stuff is gonna get here WHEN!!! Augggghhhhh!!!

... it was a smart move to put my suit in the car.

My God, has it been that long?

So, just shy of 7 years working at Syracuse University, keeping college coeds warm at night, and now I've gone and given notice, this being the last day of employment, and I'm traipsing ~680 miles SW to Louisville, KY, to start fresh.

What am I, crazy?!?

Who can say? Anyhow, it's a done deal. My current landlord is showing the apartment, I've paid my new landlords (at Aquarius Apartments), my utes are getting cancelled on the 17th, and Mayflower is showing up to take my worldly possessions and truck 'em down.

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. So let the sun shine! Wish me luck.
