    I saw an obese bearded lady at fhe new employee orientation a few days ago. Everything screamed large lady except the beard. Did I mention I work at a med school that claims to be an institution of medical science. Literally, the words “medical sciences” are half of the official name.

    Moving. We hired a company to pack up our house and move 3 hours west. These fools...I don't even know where to begin. They left all kinds of stuff in the house, like rugs, power strips, missed 6 cabinets in the laundry room, had the truck doors shut and were out on the porch smoking and on their phones. Then acted surprised when we pointed out the concept of all this stuff has to go part of moving. Get here 2 hours before them to hit an epic storm. Trees down everywhere, no power to our rental, stayed the night with fiancees parents. Now I'm sitting here at the storage facility and the all star moving crew is an hour late. Made some vague excuse when I called. I'm about to come Un fed at the reel.

    Yeah took em 6 hours for a 3 hour trip from greensboro to Hendersonville. Apparently they had to drop off one of the crew and get weighed. Called this morning at 7 am then didn't show up for an hour, called saying the big truck broke down. They just got to the storage facility. It's going swimmingly
