Moving: call for help!

[breakinglight11]

You know what's the best part of having friends? They ask you to help them move, yaaaaay!

So as I have mentioned, lovely friends, I will be moving out of Elsinore at the end of May and into what is now officially Illyria, a new residence about the same distance away from Brandeis on the other side. Originally the plan was to split the moving between two days, packing up the U-Haul on May 31st and then unloading everything in the new place on June 1st. Unfortunately the truck is only available on the 31st, so both the loading and the unloading will have to happen in the evening of that day. Harrumph. I suppose that will have to be that. I suppose I will try to have all of my smaller possessions (clothes, books, cookware, etc) already moved in before then, and then have only the sizeable furniture pieces left to move during the time I'll have the truck.

So I am asking for any lovely friends who might be available in the late afternoon and early evening of Tuesday, May 31st to lend the strength of their backs to moving a significant chunk of furniture to be taken to my new place. Someone who is comfortable driving a ten-foot truck (over a distance of about a mile) is particularly welcome. More details will come closer to the date when I make a firm plan on action. To entice you to come, all those who contribute are then invited to what will be my inaugural dinner party at the new place on Saturday, June 4th in thanks for the help.

So, if you are inclined to be generous, or just want in on the reward dinner, e-mail me or comment here letting me know that you're available to help. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

I know the trials and tribulations of moving. I did it myself this past Dec. I'll help if I can. I need to figure out my summer classes schedule which I will know in the upcoming week. If it doesn't conflict then I'll be happy to help.

As I mentioned on Saturday, I can lend a hand. I'll probably be working earlier in the afternoon on the 31st, but I can come down when I'm free. :)

I have yet to buy my plane tickets from and to Assy Chusetts - do you think it would be more helpful for me to show up on May 30thish and help with the moving, or to land June 1st-2ndish and move my stuff in afterwards?

I will be happy to help out, and I am comfortable driving such a small truck.

Unless it turns out that I have class during that time, I will gladly help! Will you help us move on the 1st or possibly the 8th?

I would be delighted to, on either day.

I shall be thrilled to assist!

Unless my job situation takes a turn for the better, I will likely be free and thus able to help. (With the caveat that I am terrible with the strength thing. I shall do my best.)

I don't know my availability that far in advance (work can be wonky), but if I'm free I'd be happy to help.

*sends helpful vibes but can't do much more from the other side of the world*

... and my axe!

I can also drive a 10-foot U-Haul if need be, as they're far easier to maneuver than the 14-foot (or larger) models.
