next time

you know, professional mover fees may sound like a lot of money at first, but compared to the loss of income incurred from not being able to work for an entire week while you box up and then transport an entire five years of your life? It may actually be a pretty good deal.

Next time.

(this is also to say nothing about all the actual money-costs you pay anyway, like the moving van parking permit I an now waiting in line to pay for a second time. Because I packed the first permit I bought. Because I am not a professional mover.)

So, my sister-in-law and I were wondering when we were talking about having movers pack up our stuff (in our dreams where we have money)....did you pack up your underwear yourself? Or do they pack EVERYTHING? Inquiring minds want to know. Cause I think it would be weird to have movers see my underwear. Actually they have - my movers to Boston told me I didn't have to unpack my dresser, and uh, it didn't quite make it through the move in one piece...it was awkward.

Yes, they will pack everything unless you tell them to leave something alone. I don't have any embarrassing underwear so I had them pack all my clothes. But I do sometimes pack my CDs myself, because otherwise they stuff them in boxes willy-nilly without paying attention to the alphabetical ordering, and it's a huge pain to re-sort them.
