 Adventures
in moving … Part 1
OK Some
of you may know that the Cranky Old bastard has moved to Tofino
BC recently. Some of you might also be wondering why would I leave
Victoria? The answer is simple, just like most of my readers. My
girlfriend got a job there (yes I have someone that fucks me on
a semi regular basis … of her own free will I might add, and
No I don't have to pay her). So she goes up Island to work and stays
with a friend while I am left to pack up and clean the house.
As the month goes buy we phone each other regularly,
me to try to get her to have phone sex and talk dirty while I jerk
off and her to tell me how much she misses me and bitch that all
I ever think about is sex, (HELLO I AM A MALE HERE!)
Now I know things were not Ideal for her living
in someone's living room, and sleeping on a futon. But I am not
writing an article about her so her story can kiss my fucking ass
until she gets her own article in a rag like this, this is my place
to write not hers.
As the moving date gets closer and closer,
I am finally getting done most of the packing and deciding we have
FAR TOO MUCH SHIT, and wondering why didn't we just get professional
movers to come in, instead of renting a U Haul. Yes that is correct
I said we rented a Fucking U Haul and that turned out to be a Huge-fucking
mistake that I will never repeat in this or any other lifetime.
Now both my girlfriend and are fairly intelligent
and we knew enough to book the truck well in advance, so we booked
it online at the beginning of August for the upcoming long weekend
(at the end of the month for those that didn't know that). The next
day we get a call confirming our reservation of a 17 foot truck,
12 moving pads, a utility dolly, and a note telling us that some
one will call the day before the move to let us know where [in Victoria]
to pick the truck up.
About half way through the month, we decide
that we would rather tow our car and save the gas money, so we contact
U Haul and ask them to reserve a tow dolly for us. "No problem."
was the reply.
So here, it is the day before we are supposed
to get the truck and it's getting close to 5 pm, the time that they
told us that they would call by, and you guessed it!! No one fucking
called from U Haul. So my girlfriend calls them and they tell her
that all they have is a 24 foot truck that is over on Saltspring
Island and we would have to go and pick it up from there. But because
of the inconvenience they are going to reduce the price by $25.00.
She then calls me to tell me this wonderful little tidbit, and I
decide that this will not do, and call U Haul to tell them. I get
on the phone with a sweet young lady from U Haul and explain to
her that for me to travel to another Island to pick up this truck
it is going to cost me more then $25.00 because I have to take my
car there on the ferry. I then have to hook it up over there and
use extra gas to get the truck to Victoria where I was told I would
be picking up the truck from originally. At this point, she informs
me that the truck is on Saltspring Island but everything else is
indeed in Victoria. So now, I have to take someone else with me
to drive my car back to Victoria and the price to do this trip to
get the truck has doubled. I am livid and I let her know this, and
she asks me if 100 extra Kms and a $75.00 discount would be ok as
that is all she can do for me.
Now I am in a predicament here it is after
5pm on the 28th of August and the only moving truck to be had is
on a different island and I can not get another one from anywhere
else. So yes I suppose that will have to fucking be "OfuckingK".
Now I need someone to get up early the next morning and be on the
first fucking ferry over to get this piece of shit truck and everyone
is busy, gee go fucking figure. Finally, my Buddy the Barbarian
agrees to help me out.
This will be continued next week.
Until then I remain.
The Cranky Old Bastard,
The Cranky Old
Bastard.
