Packing to move sucks

God it sucks. So many little items need to be packed. It's always the little things that drive me mad and make me want to go nuts and poop on the floor.

That would be a nice going away present for the P's...
 
Shouldn't you have moved out about a year ago😉

J/K, I would have lived at home too as long as possible.
 
I hear ya man. I just moved out of my parents house and got an apartment with my gf a few weeks ago. Moving little speakers and computers and mice and keyboards and speaker wire and Xbox games and optical cables and power cables and cds and dvds and monitors and tvs and pillows and batteries and ipods and cell phones and flash drives and pens and receivers and usb cables and etc etc etc....


tons of little crap. The worst part is setting it all up at the new place. You dump out a box of wires trying to find that one HDMI cable you're looking for 🙁

God damn you know exactly what I am talking about. I'm looking for cords and trying to store some that I didn't even know existed. I can't find my wi-fi antenna to my MB, I have no idea where it went. I have 15-25 cords to wrap up and store...my clothes are done. They were done in about 30 minutes. STUPID ELECTRONICS!

"Don't worry, ma, there'll always be a part of me here."


Yeah, packing sucks. I hated doing it for college. Every 4 months, pack up and move. I did that for the first 2 years. Now I'm getting an off-campus place where I'll stay for at least the next 2 years. Then I'll worry about getting a moving van or renting a U-Haul to move everything to wherever the hell I decide to live.
 
Tie all the cables up (separately of course 😉), and label each one (with post its?) to make things easier. Also, you could separate cables for the PC, cables for the television/entertainment center (xbox,etc..). Get to work! 😛
 
On the other hand, actually moving out of your parents' house is one of the greatest things in the known universe.

No doubt about that. I'm tired of the nagging...I love my parents to death, and I appreciate all they have done for me...BUT FOR GOD SAKES, STOP ASKING ME ABOUT EVERY FRIGGING DETAIL OF MY DAY! I'd rather re-roof the house solo then talk to them for hours about work.
 
I moved to a new house in July of '05 after living in the same house for 20 years. After two garage sales and three trips to salvation army, I can truly say that I'm living lean.

Simple abundance! If you haven't used it in a year it's time to do some soul searching.

 
Yeah there's still stuff I've left at home and I've been moved out for about 2-3 weeks now.

So many things you don't think about until you actually need to use it.
 
I'm heading off to college on the other side of the country in six weeks, and the parents want to sell the house and downsize in eight weeks. Goodwill, the trash, and the fire pit are my friends.
One advantage of cleaning out all your old crap is that you know exactly what you have and where it is afterwards.

They learned not to ask about my day.
Warehouse:
1. Scan label.
2. Read computer.
3. Go to location the computer indicates.
4. Put required number of boxes onto pallet.
5. Go to step 2 until order is finished
6. Wrap pallet and put at door indicated on label.
7. Repeat. Over and over and over again.

When I am home, I'm the fix-it guy. Anything that doesn't work, I always know how to fix it.

At least they told him their plans first 😛
 
It was easy for me, I just left the small shit behind that I couldn't be bothered to pack. It was either mailed to me later, lost or is still sitting in my mother's house somewhere.

One thing I left was my DEC Alpha which is from the DEC HQ in MA, it was actually still running with apache when I went by about a year ago. I was like, 'No wonder its so freaking hot in here, this computer is still on." Somehow no one noticed for two years that the computer hooked up to the UPS/Internet without a monitor/keyboard/mouse was suspiciously still at work.
 
we're moving too and I gotta tell you folding up the tents and leaving this dump is probably one of the most joyous experiences I've had in some time.
 
Moved well over 20 times in my life, gets easier every time.

And Hello Geekbabe, great to see you again been awhile. Lol, I don't wanna hear you don't remember me either, it's not like we have over 160,000 members or anything.... 🙂
