Just got done moving
My fiance and I bought a house recently, and this weekend was moving day(s). I have to say that I can't actually prove that my movers are the worst movers north of the 45th parallel, but they have to be in the top 3. About an hour after they were supposed to arrive, they call saying their truck won't start; bad battery. They asked if I could buy a truck battery and bring it to them, since they didn't have $75.00 to buy one themselves. Apparently, not one of the three movers has a credit card or checking account with $75 to spare - I had to buy it for them and take it out of the moving costs.
Moving into my old place took two movers 4.5 hours including travel, they billed me for 4. This time around three guys took 7.2 hours to move exactly the same things, with me helping to lift boxes because they were standing around so much. They billed me for the final six minutes it took the honcho to figure out how much to charge me. Then, he didn't give me my $3.00 change and they all three stood around waiting for a tip. I was so angry that the voices in my head were starting to whisper, "amok amok amok" just like they used to.
Anyway, enough whinging - in the coming week I expect I'll be talking a bit more about Xena 3.0 and all of the nifty new features that we'll have in the next version of MSDN Subscriber Downloads. In the meantime, here's a little taste:
