MOVING IN THE HEAT

This is dedicated to anyone who has ever had to experience the misery of moving in the GA heat:

I was reminded of the sort of hellacious experience it is to move into and apartment, not to mention a 3rd floor one, in the middle of summer by my friend this weekend. There are so many things to think about when you are moving; deposits, pets, landlords, turning on electricity, dealing with storage units. It really is enough to make your head spin. So lets start with the landlords, um, ever heard of an emergency contact? What is up with people that we pay our hard earned money to not being accessible in this overly accessible society? On to GA Power, When I think about her and her family trying to work with the notoriously hard to work with GA power to get her air turned on in the middle of the sweltering summer heat it makes my stomach churn a little. Is it too much to ask that a representative flip a switch for a sista? I mean really?! As I think of them standing outside of their cars drinking a warm gatorade, trying to keep from dehydrating it lights a little fire inside of me. On to storage units, who says a man that you pay cash to each month for a little box with no heat or air can try and hold YOUR things hostage? What a ridiculous excuse for a business man, no office, no drop box, no ethics, um... can we say po-dunk? Well, the good news is my friend is moved in, no one passed out and I'm thinking what she really needs is a gnome by her front door to bring her some much needed good luck to come her way, who knows, maybe it will even be an Atlanta Braves gnome and it will bring them some luck as well, Lord knows they need it.
