Ugh. I would be super cranky if my treasured sleep schedule was disrupted.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

That is some long range crankiness planning.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn, I'm exhausted. Just finished packing for the movers about 15 minutes after they arrived.
I'm probably leaving for the KC area tomorrow, or maybe early Saturday.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Just finished packing for the movers about 15 minutes after they arrived.
A time-honored tradition, at least in my house. Though really, it's usually us pointing the movers towards the spots we managed to finish, while frantically continuing to pack the rest of the house.

I think I have PTSD from moving.

So, leave early and drive eight hours straight with the kitty? Or find a motel that takes cats and do it over two days?
My ability to make decisions is sharply reduced.
Ok, I think I'll go for the Motel option.

It took me awhile to get over the PTSD from my last move 8 years ago.
This time I'm moving out of town and starting a new job.
On Tuesday evening they told me I needed to take a drug test on Wednesday. Of course I had an everything bagel with poppyseeds for breakfast Tuesday morning. So I mentioned that to the recruiting company, and now I think they're suspicious of me. Or I could just be paranoid. At least I can retake the test once I'm in KC, but googling says that one bagel would be unlikely to cause me to fail the drug screen.
Or maybe I'm just convinced something has to go wrong with this move and new job thing.

Depends on how you sleep in a motel. I would probably drive straight through and get it behind me.

That's crossed my mind too.
Originally they wanted me there by 3:30 or 4:00 Saturday so they could check me in to the new apartment, but today they told me if I arrive late they'll leave keys out for me. That way I could sleep later on Saturday.

Wow, tommyrot, go you! Taking two days sounds like the smart move if you are already worn out from packing and making decisions and so forth.
It occurred to me just yesterday that it's kinda fucked up that I can say in all reasonableness "it's only $2000" about a potential loss of revenue due to a decision made in my work process and have everyone just nod like, yeah, that's not much when my paychecks are less than that.
Capitalism, man. How are we doing on getting rid of it?
