Screwed Up by the Movers

The last people that I thought would screw me up are the movers. They appear to have filled the truck my stuff was scheduled to be on prior to getting to me. They are still waiting to schedule a driver for my stuff, but it will not be as scheduled today or tomorrow. They still guarantee arrival in Idaho within 12 days of the original scheduled pick-up date. Normally, they (Allied Movers) would have Hilford Movers put my stuff in Hilford's storage and Allied would pick it up there, but my stuff is already in storage, which is paid for through August. What a pain. I gave the Hilford rep a hard time, but he's just the messenger. I will meet him tomorrow to give him the storage key, so he can deal with it.

I already scheduled things in LA today, so I am about to leave to get my hair cut and get a dose of gratitude from my Tuesday Night Women's coffee girls. My hair looks pretty good for being 2 weeks overdue for a hair cut, but it is REALLY long. My hair hasn't been this long since I was in Junior High. I have a few more things to add to storage that are here and at Mom's, so I can do that tomorrow. I'm making the Hilford rep meet me there.

I signed up on-line for some of the utilities, so we will see how that goes. I did not remember that renting (or owning) a house includes monthly payments for more things, water, sewer, trash, gas, electric, and I am hoping that these do not total more than they were at my last apartment.

I applied for the 2nd Idaho state job in Human Services, this one is for a Specialist in compliance. I would have liked to see my score on the 1st application before I reused the same answers for 3 questions that were the same, but they have not posted my score yet. They also posted a job in the legislative office, this includes budgeting and I do not have much experience with budgeting, but it is outside of the usual state civil service rules, so they should be more flexible about qualifications. This application I can mail or email and is not due until August 24th. I think I will work on mailing that one, but later when I am not so irritated.

I already knew that I have problems with being flexible or spontaneous and with handling more than one thing at a time. I like things organized, one thing in place before moving on to the next thing. I do not like to be surprised, except when it is with a party and gifts! I feel tested today. The idea of leaving for Idaho without my stuff also on the way makes me uncomfortable, but it seems like I should not wait around here, either. Life is messy. At least I learned over the last 7 weeks to live with a minimum of stuff.
