Things that happened to me today:

• I got up at 6:30 - in the morning - to meet movers scheduled to arrive at 7:00.
• Movers did not arrive.
• Called movers, was told they’d call me back when they could locate the driver.
• Did not call me back.
• Heard outrageous smashing noises outside, discovered that neighboring building is having roof replaced.
• Called movers, was told driver would be along shortly.  4 hours later.
• Or rather, three days later since they were supposed to come last Friday.
• Got phone call from dispatcher asking me where the hell I was because the driver was having trouble at my address.
• Went outside, could see no driver or moving equipment.
• Called movers, told them driver must be at wrong address and was put on hold.
• Saw delivery driver come walking around a corner, waved at him.
• Driver was mean.
• I yelled at driver.
• Driver tried to walk away from me.
• I yelled at driver again.
• Driver refused to place our delivery cubes in our own parking area and gave no reason - see “driver was mean”.
• Driver then refused to place cubes in a red curb zone, even though the zone was not a fire zone.
• Driver made me stand in a parking spot across the street while he got the moving cubes.
• Driver was then AWOL for 20 minutes while I stood in parking spot.
• BMW lady attempted to back into spot where I was standing despite my yelling and waving my hands.
• BMW lady then flipped me off.
• Cried.
• Driver reappeared with moving cubes and was mysteriously nice, though still wouldn’t place cubes in parking area.
• I went to start unloading our belongings and discovered that roofers next door had totally blocked side entrance.
• Went to rear entrance and discovered that workers on own building were sealing hallway floors.
• Walked to bank instead.
• Walked to Starbucks, was treated like shit.
• Was unsurprised.
• Went home, tried to hire some Mexicans to carry my stuff.
• Mexicans pretended to not understand what I was talking about.
• Called moving companies to hire labor on short notice.
• Was literally laughed at.
• Cried.
• Went to “Yogurt Bucket” as we now call the neighborhood froyo joint.
• Went home deciding a shower was in order.
• Discovered shower knob was no longer functioning and spun uselessly.
• Cried.
• Watched internet television.
• Tried writing about science fiction to feel better.

I think I left out a few things.
