Two Little Old Ladies Moving Company

Around here the Moving and Cartage firms have names like “The Two Amigos”, “Two Small Men With Big Hearts”, “Cheap Charlie’s”, etc. Today, in action, “Two Little Old Ladies Moving Company” with efficiency and effectiveness that was absolutely mind boggling. My friend, 72 years young and I, closer to the 60th decade than the 50th, moved 46 boxes of books! These were not slim paperback novels; these were text books, hard cover and workbooks. We made a number of trips from the office on the third floor to the parking garage, having commandeered a parking spot to which we could roll the dolly. The only things we balked at were the two six feet by three foot book cases. The smaller ones, the four foot by three, were toted down, stowed in the van and re-positioned in their new slots.

Tired? Yep! Self-satisfied? You bet! Mind you, I have tons of work to do in preparation for the movers on the 30th as they will be bringing four filing cabinets up four flights of stairs, but we did some serious damage today in terms of getting the job done. So satisfied are we with out effort, I do not believe we will not accept any further engagements – you can consider the firm out of the moving business but available for referrals and consultation.

Now … on to the unpacking and sorting… yuk!
