So y’all know I’m moving. Turns out it’s damn stressful to move across the country! I’ve moved many many times before, but it’s usually in the same city. The only times I’ve moved long distances were when there wasn’t much to move. So this is kinda crazy. If you follow me on twitter you’ve heard my bitching.
So the move is about 6 weeks away and I’m just researching things like crazy, but nothing is as good as advice from others. Anyone do a cross country move before? What did you do to make it easier/cut costs?
As of right now it looks like we will have our stuff driven in a container on a truck with a bunch of other people’s stuff. It seems to be the cheapest and easiest route. However, with 15 different moving companies contacting me all the time I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. In fact, I thought I’d finally found a company that looked really awesome to then realize that they only do moves that originate in California, not the other way around. I’ve researched the other 15 companies with the BBB and I’ve narrowed it down to 6 which is still too many. So who have you used? What was your experience?
Also, anyone in the SF Bay Area know of any jobs in sex education/outreach/PR? I’m looking for work out there and while Craigslist is helpful, networking is always better. Please put in a good word for me/point me in the right direction.
Thanks all! I’m going to finish this here mudslide in hopes that it will take some of the edge off …
