Our movers did the first time, but not the second time. So I don't know what's usual. If you really need the space, I'd break down the boxes and stack everything.

I have an abundance of soft furnishings!

WOOHOO that's what I like to hear.

There's a site where you can post moving boxes for someone to pick up. Like Freecycle but specific to boxes. I might be able to remember the name of it eventually...

Furniture, yay!

The movers I've employed have never picked up the trash. What a marvelous concept.

Pretty sure this AD med isn't working anymore.

Hooray for furnishings!

though those were more in the way of Why It Works rather than How It Works, if that makes sense.

I so need something like this. I look at formulas and go "But *why* does that describe motion! Why that letter? Give me something I can attach the concept to!" I love history and English because I can tie things into my existing framework of knowledge. I can puzzle out a lot of written Romance language because I recognize the parts of the words.

In my school system, there was generally one teacher per subject per grade--and in the pre-high school, one teacher per subject, who modified for the different grades. In high school, there was college-bound and regular, though they had to put in an alternate college-bound English track, because Mr. Berryhill definitely played favorites.

I have a stack going! It's not as much of a problem now that the new furniture is in.

I may see if anyone who works at my company in the area wants to pick them up for free.

Ugh, unpleasant work meeting in 10 minutes.

Ugh, unpleasant work meeting in 10 minutes.

But this is a new position! Shouldn't there be a grace period on unpleasant meetings when you're in a new position?

I so decree it.

I vote for Tep to be in charge of whatever she needs to be in charge of to make that happen.

Connie, this book (looks like maybe the info is available on the website now?) [link] has helped me a great deal. Really clear explanations and thought experiments to really ground the ideas.

I usually put my boxes on the craigslist free section.

So yesterday I was reading Jennifer Weiner's essay [link] on stupidity in American life while fiddling with a juice bottle I thought was empty. And... another keyboard bites the dust. So much for any sense of superiority on my part, although I do think I'd have the sense not to use my work e-mail to register for a cheating site. There are a number of comments arguing that she shouldn't be mocking the people who signed into Ashley Madison with their work e-mails because adultery is serious business, proving that too many Americans have no sense of humor.
