My Seattle Move: Wednesday, January 4

I have arrived in Seattle, more or less.  The move was a partial success...there were a lot of things I left behind that I really should not have, and it's proving difficult to get furniture into a 3-story townhome especially since the companies don't deliver on Saturday.  I really need to get a desk, a couch, and a real bed (currently on an airmattress and it's not fun).

I haven't updated in a while because (A) I was on the road in some rather unappealing conditions - in fact, I think I may have nearly lost control of my vehicle in Oregon - and (B) I wanted to at least get past my first day on the new job.  It was mostly uneventful.  I was surprised that all of my OnBase knowledge came flowing back so well and so quickly.  I helped to fixed two of the outstanding issues, working on two others today.

But my "move" isn't done yet.  Now I have to schedule UHaul to drop off a pod, schedule a flight to go back to San Diego, and get that coordinated so the rest of my stuff can join me.  I'm likely going to have to do a hotel room too because I fear it will take me longer than the one day to complete.  There's not a lot but I need to pack it up, and some of it is rather heavy.
