And not a moment to soon.
For those that don’t already know our apartment was robbed yesterday. They got all of our laptops (3), Xbox, Playstation, iPods, Cameras (camcorder, digicam), Jewelry, Luggage (gotta carry all that heavy stuff), 4 dollars worth of wine, ALL of our audio CDs and software CDs that I had in binders, all totaled equals a small fortune. The robbers where VERY brave, breaking into our apartment during the day especially with all the neighbors that we have. The sad thing is that these people had probably been in our apartment at one time or another either coming in to view the apartment over the last couple of days for renting purposes, or the countless work crews that have came through working on various things. Either way I’m blaming our building management for the lack of security, and the improper installation of the locks on our doors. If all the security measures where in place that they had promised where to be installed this probably wouldn’t have happened.
On the bright side we have less stuff to pack now, so we should come in under our weight limit. And my relocation allowance got bumped up so now I shoudln’t even recieve a bill for the moving expenses, my company should handle all of that. Now if only they would throw the car in for free everything would be great.
Speaking of the car, we got it back from the body shop and it looks really good, they even cleaned the inside, so as a reward to the car I’m going to drive it from LA to DC. The estimates that we have been getting for the car has been in the neighborhood of around $1000 and I figured that I could drive out there on about $250 dollars or so, plus I can load the car up and save on the weight or the rest of the move. So Kelly and I are probably gonna drive to CO for Christmas, and then I’m going to drive from there to DC while Kelly flys on ahead. So hopefully I will get to stay the night in St. Louis and visit Matt’s place before making the second leg of the trip.
OK I should probably try and get some work done today.
