worst day ever
So, we were to unpack the moving truck and put our stuff in storage today, to wait 'til we find our own place (we're staying with my parents for now).
Except our stuff was destroyed. Stuff in boxes was mostly okay (sometimes miraculously - there were a couple of boxes that had fragile stuff in them and were fairly crushed, but everything inside appeared intact. Apparently I'm really good at packing fragile stuff!), but almost all of our furniture was destroyed. We hired movers to unload the truck and load up our storage space; one of them said he did some work in Texas after Hurricane Ike hit; he said our stuff looked like a first floor apartment in a five-story building after the hurricane came through. It was that bad. His theory: they wrecked the original truck, then threw our stuff into this one and tried to pass it off to us.
Side-note for the McCoven: among the casualties was my Jon Miller bobblehead. He lost his head, a leg, and a couple of other things. Perhaps the driver was a Dodger fan.
More, including photos (we had to take tons for the big-ass insurance claim that is to follow) to come.
