Thanks, sj. Working on the calm thing. I can't see pic of your niece as i'm on a phone, but I'm sure she's gorgeous. I love being an auntie. It's like practice for motherhood, but without stress.
smonster, I know - what is it with these companies? We haven't even started on cable yet - still trying to get a phone line and internet. You'd think we were asking for something difficult. From a phone company...
Not having proper access to my own building is a particular problem at the mo. There might have to be a disability law case about it. Still, it's something to keep me busy. I'd have post-essay boredom otherwise.
Cutie-pie kidlets!
That sounds terribly annoying, Seska. I hope it all gets resolved, soon.

I'm so sorry. That is more than moving stress. Do you need a ramp or an elevator?
How much do you tip delivery men? Tomorrow, my new couch is being delivered. It's got to come up three flights of stairs. Assuming that they are on time, efficient and don't make a mess, what's an appropriate tip?
sj, no - there's a lift. But the front door is extremely heavy, apparently for security reasons - it's near-impossible to open from a wheelchair, and I'm prone to dislocated shoulders, so I can't risk it. The building management company are currently ignoring our lawyer's advice that they have to sort it out. We're wondering how long they can do that for...
"Go back to school."
Heh. Though in this economy, it's quite possible they've already gone to school.
Vortex, I gave my delivery guys a rather large tip ($10 each) because I wanted them to take my old couch down the two flights to the dumpster. I probably could have gotten away with $5 each, but I didn't want them to refuse. When I had my previous couch delivered, I didn't give them any tip at all, but I was only a few steps up the stairs and they didn't have an old couch to remove.

That's super frustrating. I hope that they can figure it out soon.

Very very true.
Speaking of, Joe started back to school yesterday! I am very very proud of him. Woohoo! We will no longer be the least educated people in our circles of friends!!
