Moving Time (part 2)

Ok let me redeem myself for that last entry was pretty sappy. Day 2 of driving was not as bad since it was only a 4.5 hr drive. We got to CO pretty quickly and had to get some more ghetto gas.


The move-in wasn’t so bad… there is an elevator, however, you had to go up like 7 steps to get on it and then you had to either go to the 2nd floor and go up 7 steps or to the 3rd floor and go down 7 steps. So the moving dolly helped somewhat but not quite as easy as I thought. Also the damn dolly had tiny hard plastic wheels instead of the big rubber ones that are usually on dollies. After all that, I think I need a chiropractor.


Let me break it down for ya…

The Good - We made it to Colorado (sunshine most of the way) safely in approximately 16.5 hrs. My apt (inside) is great, the paint job is nice, quite spacious, I love my walk-in closet!

The Bad - The office lady I met in July at my new apt complex quit and some new girl that knew absolutely nothing tried to help me sign the lease. I also am stuck at $553/mo and couldn’t get a lower price. I’ve only seen old people, foreign people, and non-white people in my community so far. My apt is in a bit more of a ghetto area than I thought and is a little further away from what I thought.

The Ugly - Apparently the A/C for the whole community is broken. They don’t know what is wrong with it or when it will be fixed. Although nights are pretty cool and dry, a fan works just fine.

Anyways…

We unloaded everything but the freakin sofa bed. We left that in the truck and took off to test drive a car. A white Pontiac Grand Prix for $3000, real nice (and cute) guy named Brett. Turns out he and his wife, Jill, moved from Chicago to Denver 2 yrs ago. They even lived in Lakeview, what a coincidence! AND it so happens, the wifey works for some company Thomson Reuters that is looking for Marketing Associates like immediately! Awesome, I will get more info on that asap. THEN we went to Pier 1 and the grocery store and it is quite late so I’m turning in. No unsecured wireless connections tonight… I’ll have to upload tomorrow (which is now today).
