The Worst Move in History

I miss yall!!  I can't believe it has been a week since I blogged.  I will explain why.

We moved.  I have a gang of kids and the 3 bedroom apartment was no longer doing it for us.  So we decided to rent a house.  I refuse to buy a house, because I'm still not convinced I'm going to stay in Austin, TX.  So I have been cleaning and packing up my apartment since Saturday of last week. 

Let's get to the worst move day in the history of move days.

The drama started on Wednesday morning.  We hired a moving company to pack us out (mostly disassemble and reassemble) and move us.  The guys started at exactly 9:11 am.  They left my new house at exactly 6:23 pm.  Yes...you read it right...it took them 9 effing hours to pack us, load us and move us freaking 15 minutes away.  COLOR ME PISSED THE "F' OFF!!! 

But it gets better (can you smell the sarcasm).  AT&T were supposed to install our Internet and phone lines.  Well they say they showed up.  NOT...but after spending 1 and 45 minutes on the phone with them...mostly on hold I learn that I will not have phone or Internet services for 7 to 10 days.  WTF do you mean.  Apparently they need to drop a line (whatever that means) in order to give us service.  So are you telling me I'm the first person in this subdivision to order AT&T service.  The crap sounds really suspect to me and it only pissed me off more.  Then I tell the dumb technician guy I would like to have an extra jack installed in the house.  He proceeds to tell me how much it will cost.  I didn't fucking ask you how much it would cost...I just want one installed.  I don't give a rats ass about the price if I'm requesting it.  That is my biggest pet peeve.  So no phone on Internet for this girl and her family. 

Here is where my anger just shoots off the scale.  It's 100 degrees outside.  I have 3 small children and a sickly mother.  The effing central air is not working!!!  Yup...you read that right.  No damn A/C.  The landlord calls to get someone out but can't get anyone until the following morning.  He offers to give us $100 off next month's rent so that we can stay at a hotel for the night.  Whatever...still not happy. 

Oh yeah...the landlord also claimed he had someone come over and clean the place up before we moved in.  Well he should demand a damn refund because the place was not clean.  Hell you could see the dust on the stained concrete floors. 

There is more.  Today I decide to do the laundry.  Well the damn washer and dryer unit are not hooked up.  No biggie right.  I'm a self-sufficient girl I can do this.  After pulling the damn thing out...I notice a huge crack in the fucking wall surrounding the gas line for the dryer.  Sorry...but I'm not about to put my kids lives in jeopardy just for some dry clothes.  I took pictures and sent it to the landlord.  Hopefully he will have some answers for me tomorrow.  So now I have to pack up my laundry and go to the laundromat tomorrow.  Which won't be that bad because they all have a Ms. Pac*Man video game.  LOL

So I am totally unhappy about the move right now.  I like order...this chaos is wrecking havoc on me little brain.

In band related news...Apparently my band shuts down like a prison cell at the 9 o'clock count when stressed.  Everything I tried to put in my mouth got stuck.  Everything except a Taco Bell Volcano Burrito (no tortilla).  So I have been living on TB and water for the last few days. It gets old really fast. 

I have tons of blogs to catch up on and comments to make.  I did a little at work today.  I will be online.  I just have to use my mobile Internet connector thingy.  LOL

Have a great weekend everybody.
