Being homeless afterwards. This has happened several times so far. Here's to the next one!
My cats went from indoor-outdoor to indoor only. They were fucked up for 6 months and I was fucked up because they were fucked up. Depression kitties, depressed cat lady.
I have two. One moving some 'friends'. One moving myself.
The first was when I was in graduate school. About five of us agreed to move a couple and their kid across town. One was another graduate student. His wife was the front office admin. We figured it was nbd. One of us had a truck and they got uhaul. Little did we know 'moving' meant 'packing'. What should have been an afternoon turned into three days. Largely because of how particular she was about how things were packed. We would have said no, but she was in charge of important documents like travel reimbursements so we didn't want to risk it.
The second was moving to a new job. The truck was late, the place was filthy, and I had to sleep on the wooden floors. Those floors were so disgusting I decided to clean them. I vacuumed. I mopped. Nothing would get them clean, so I got a power washer. I learned that day that power washers can set off smoke detectors. The entire building was evacuated. Afterwards, I had to meet with the dean about it. She chewed me out and asked why I hadn't called facilities to have it clean. I told her if it wasn't cleaned before I moved in why should I expect it to be cleaned now. I have a feeling my contract not being renewed had something to do with that.
