miriam_e | I hate moving house!!!

...but it has to be done.

Moving to Box Hill. Going to be harder to get around way over there, but on the plus side I know quite a few people in the area.

Organised so far:

my phone cancelled and new connection arranged at the new place
have cancelled my cable internet account with Optus (being disconnected tomorrow). That will save me $64 a month -- a lot of money at the moment. They were starting to piss me off anyway. They recently changed their rules so that basically there was little advantage to having a cable connection anyway (strange that they would want to negate their technological advantage -- I wonder if it's a stupid attempt to stop people downloading music and video). Also they sent me a rude, unwarranted email. There have been various other stuff-ups from them too.
gas connected at the new place
electricity connected at the new place
paid bond and month's rent in advance
truck booked
most of my stuff packed
fixed web pages so that they don't get broken when cable service terminates
saving some of the files from my second PC onto CD so that I still have access to them. (I am lending that PC to someone.)

Have a lot more packing yet to do -- 50 boxes of books packed and still not finished! Thank heavens I have hardly any furniture or clothes. The only other hassle will be all the computers (many of which I should really discard because they are basically antique).

The big move is on Monday and Tuesday. I am gonna be totally fucked on Wednesday! Unfortunately I have a meeting on Wednesday morning too. Bleagh!
