I would show them how proud I am of my Second Amendment rights.
Yup. They were about 30 seconds away from being at the business end of my AR15.
It gets better yet. When they picked up my stuff, they arrived in a 20' UHaul-type truck. Stupid me, I assumed that was the type of vehicle that they were going to drop it off in. Our apartment complex is setup so that it would be kind of difficult for that truck to get in, but still possible. Well, they showed up in a big-azz semi. Crap. There was no WAY they were even going to get CLOSE to our apt. So the moving guy says, "Well, we're going to have to charge you $1 per hundred feet for each pound of stuff." (it was at least 500' to the apt.
So of course I responded with a "Kiss my a$$."
What ended up happening is they dropped the stuff right at the main enterance of the complex and I had to move all the sh!t MYSELF. My wife was able to help a little, but hardly any at all, because she had to watch our son. I moved all 3,500lbs of our stuff myself over 500'. Of course we're new to the area, and dont know anyone here, so it was all me. I haven't been this worn out since I was in the Corps.
Surprisingly, I'm not too pi$$ed off right now. I'm just happy that I have a bed to sleep on tonight, a couch to sit on, toys for my son, clean clothes to wear. (for the first time in two weeks.) My a$$ was getting real sore from sitting on the floor all the time. I'm sure my anus will heal just fine.
I think the only thing that is keeping me sane is that I am this close (*making tiny gap with thumb and forefinger*) to a CFI job up here and I am interviewing with SkyWest for a ramp-rat position. So SOMETHING has been going right......
