Today descended into chaos when not only did my boss at work insist on using our development server for a big demo while it was *not* ready for it, my calendar also told me the movers were coming a day earlier than I thought! We hadn't even cleared out the cabinets they'd be moving! Couldn't get ahold of the movers, so I frantically called Mickey and told her we had half an hour to clear out stuff, 25 minutes of which I'd be using on getting home at all speed. She was... ehrm... not happy about this.
After about 15 minutes with books, games, boxes and garb flying in a crazy dance around us, no movers. When I called them this time, lo and behold, there they were - and they agreed with me, not my calendar. We had the time we expected. Panic cancelled. Understandably, Mickey was even less happy about the whole panic being unnecessary, so I hurried out to get a cocoa-based peace offering. But at least now we got everything cleared out and ready for the movers tomorrow. The apartment also looks like we've been putting more stuff into it rather than moving 30+ boxen out already, but should change from tomorrow on. Then the painting begins.
Eeep.
