Talk About Rain on the Parade

Tonight, on my way out the door, my roommate Joe stopped me. The expression on his face was pained.

"Laurie? You got a second?"

I turned to face him. "Sure, Joe." My keys jingled in my hand as I waited for him to speak. I wasn't expecting the bomb that he dropped.

"Uuuhhhh," he began, "the movers will be here...Friday."

FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Friday. As in three days from now. Which means I have to pack up all of my earthly possessions by Thursday night in order to move into my new place.

FRIDAY.

Well, on the bright side, at least I'll have a place to live that doesn't involve a move to Florida.

But still, though. Friday? That's fucked up. My shoes alone could take a week to move.

I'm assuming this wasn't supposed to happen that quickly? Man, I hope you did something appropriate to Joe to "thank" him for making you lose YOUR HOUSE!!!!! :)

That's all the advance notice you had? I jumped through elaborate hoops just to give my buyers and sellers ample warning when I moved. Not that they appreciated it.
