I get the call yesterday from the moving company that my truck has arrived and they gave me my total move cost. I'm happy to report that the lady who did the phone interview with me to do the estimate was really good. She was pretty much dead on with the number of boxes estimate and the weight. I come in under the estimate price and I'm happy. It's expensive, but for having the movers pack and move and then put into storage. It wasn't too bad. Bolliger Inc. We confirm that this morning we could head out to their warehouse and to Canada Revenue station and clear my things out of customs hold. The paper work was easy and all in all didn't take too long. I ride with the warehouse manager to the office. Right by the airport which makes sense given all the stuff that gets cleared out of there. So that's what they mean when they say the office is in Mississauga! Of course. Canada Border Services Agendy The ride was short but long enough that people do try to make small talk. So, I answer his questions and politely ask some. I am so bad at small talk. Of course, they ask how long I lived in New York. And inevitably the conversation and the small talk about 9-11. A topic that makes me totally uncomfortable. I guess for everyone around the world, it's a big event to discuss, but I can't help but think that you can never quite explain to someone, nor do you want to explain to total strangers, what it means and how it feels to have lived it. Being covered in building. Washing it out of your hair at the end of day. But in some ways, it also isn't totally memorable only negatively. I am glad that if I had to have experienced it, I did it with dear friends. It's a bond that I believe you'll never lose. shout out to Jocelyn and Marc 9-11 Commission Report In any case, Gary and I drive back with my three near use boxes. I'm very happy to have more clothes and even more importantly, more shoe selection! Just in time to go out for a nice dinner with his family. At least I can wear a decent outfit and wear girly shoes. I'm happy to also report that airtunes base station plugs into the network here just in a snap and I'm wireless. I love my MAC. Apple
