Moving Sucks

The good news is that I was able to take possession of my new place on Saturday and get my daughter moved in so that she could start school today. Also, the traffic wasn't too bad. Everything else seems to be screwed up, though, and/or to take many times as long as it should. My daughter wasn't able to catch a bus to school because the street the buses run on is all torn up and we have no idea what the alternate route is. The school made her take another physical because, after telling me that there was no special form required, they refused to take the form her doctor completed. My new phone service in Evanston was switched on, but the phone company didn't put through the order to disconnect my service here. I tried to call my cable company to cancel my service and their main toll-free number was busy; when I tried using their online chat customer service, I was told that the online service isn't authorized to do cancellations, AFTER waiting in line behind 28 other customers. So, I had to call again, repeatedly, until I could get through on their toll-free number. I tried to call the truck rental place to confirm my truck reservation for Friday, and they aren't answering their number. This is exactly why I hate moving.
