I think they're going to pack and load the same day, so I don't think this will work for me?

Gotcha. Can you...spend an extra day at the VVC hotel? (I realize that's got a cost associated with it, I'm just running on the assumption that you would prefer to attend the con on Friday.)

Or the airbed option?

The packers will do things like pack trash cans with trash in them,

OMG, yes. The horror stories some of my shipmates had about transcontinental moves where everything shipped via slow boat to China.

All the bad news is too depressing to talk about, but I still want to acknowledge it. World, quit sucking.

Can you...spend an extra day at the VVC hotel?

I can't pack the Wednesday or Thursday before VVC because I have work meetings. I could take Tuesday 8/4 off for pack & load, or Monday 8/10. But the Monday after VVC means I'd definitely be without my stuff for longer.

I have decision fatigue.

What are people doing this weekend?

I have to go to a work social event. Don't wanna.

Timelies all!

The longest move I've ever done was ~6 hours, and I packed myself. Sorry you're getting such vagueness, shrift.

I'm about to go have dinner with Naomi Novik and Claudia Gray.

</humblebrag>

Dana Wins!

We're seeing Ant-Man and having fancy grilled cheese tomorrow night with Hil!

I'm about to go have dinner with Naomi Novik and Claudia Gray.

Enjoy dinner! Have fun!

I... will be dealing with moving stuff, a family visit on Saturday, and a roommate who apparently is in the hospital again, HA HA HA oh god.

Dana totally wins!

I'm going to the Friday Night Horror Movies gathering tonight, then going to the sleep lab for a sleep study. Which, I'm sure, will show that HEY GUESS WHAT I DON'T FALL ASLEEP UNTIL AFTER 2AM JUST LIKE I TOLD YOU PEOPLE.

Saturday is a bbq, and Sunday is an Elder Goth Nostalgia shopping trip with the StuntHusband.
