Packing Or Unpacking?

I'm moving house again. Not by choice; I won't go into the vermin bastard scum-sucking pig-dog details. Anyway, it's the usual last-minute scramble, and I was called away yesterday to tend to a sick Linux box, taking five hours out of my schedule, which was not really very helpful. Hence the comparison below.

Five weeks after it was supposed to be available, New New Pixy Central still isn't available, and I've had to move into a different and less suitable place. Bah and humbug. The only plus with the New New New place is that it has air conditioning in the main bedroom. Considering what just happened to the weather here - the cold spell broke and temperatures jumped 10 degrees overnight - air con is actually a big consideration.*

At least this time I will have internet access available at all times, thanks to my shiny new(ish) notebook and its shiny new wireless internet adaptor. And I seem to be doing better than last time, when the scramble was not so much last-minute as last-minute-plus-two-days. That wasn't fun.

Anyway, my empty boxes are calling to be filled with books. I shall return.

* I checked, and the maximum temperature in Sydney jumped from 26C on Tuesday to 39C yesterday. I thought it was kind of warm...

2 Regarding the temperature over there, I'd feel sorry for you, but it's currently 24 degrees Fahrenheit here at My Pond (that's -240 degrees celcigrade, for you Aussies). The ice is thick enough for me to skate upon, and it's snowing to boot (we're expecting 204 centavos of accumulation for you metric-like people). I'd like to be in Australia, I think. A little far south for me to fly. Might I suggest duct tape and a forced showing of Eiken for your real estate agent?

3 Eiken? Cruel, man. Cruel.
