Best Price Moving and Storage News

Unfortunately the Unpacking Fairies have yet to arrive at Boyfriend’s new condo. He has been away all week and I originally planned on miraculously unpacking all his stuff for him by the time he comes home tomorrow night. Instead I mostly hung out at my apartment with the cat (who is still adjusting to being in a new environment – little does she know she will be moving again soon).

I did do some unpacking, however, and it has made me think about how much friggen junk people can accumulate over the years. Boyfriend, for example, has more pairs of socks than there are days in the year. He gets mad at me for borrowing them but honestly he seems to have enough to keep an entire soccer team going for months. He also has yet to part with many of the treasured “heirlooms” of his youth – a gigantic amplifier and bass guitar being the glaring example. He swears he will sell the amp and learn to play the bass, but we barely have time to play Guitar Hero lately so that remains to be seen.

As expected, whiteness studies is beginning to be picked up and run with by rank and file leftists.

What is it? It’s a field of studies based on the theory that whiteness was socially constructed to maintain the unearned privilege of whites.

The theory is steadily increasing in influence and it’s not difficult to imagine it going mainstream.

We should do what we can to resist this process. The theory suggests that it is the very fact of being white which is a problem, and not just any particular kind of behaviour or attitude.

The claim is that all whites benefit from “white privilege” at the expense of the non-white other; in other words, there is an unjust system of privilege built into the way society operates through which whites are given privileges and advantages denied to others.

The packaging and inventory slips pertaining to the move should be signed, noting “subject to final inspection” on the form above your signature. This way, if damages have occurred, you can claim them with less difficulty.  You usually have 90 days to make a claim, and in that time you must acquire valuation form from stores or furniture repair people on any damages.

If you have professional movers, they will unpack some boxes if you desire. This is a tremendous help, especially with China and crystal.  Glasses and dish ware not frequently used can be washed later when time permits.  This will also speed the removal of the seemingly endless number of boxes, which can be removed by the moving company.
