Packing Up

I should have just hired a crew and thrown everything that wouldn't fit into my car into a 30-yard dumpster. And then set it alight.

I did find four storage containers that I hadn't opened in ten years. Other than some photos, I threw out the contents. Lots of belts, which made sense to wear when I had a smaller waistline. All now dumpster food. Five trash bags full of clothing have gone to the resale shops.

If you have Verizon for both your landline and cell, here is a free tip: Always use the cell to call them. I spent 20 minutes on hold with their customer service on my home phone, then I hung up, called on my cell, and got what I needed to do with them accomplished in less than five minutes. See, they don't care if you're on hold over a landline, but on a cell call, it's both free airtime to you and you're occupying part of their wireless bandwidth, so they want your problem addressed and you of the air.

Back to work.
