I figured as long as I was really in a groove on moving apartments, I'd rent a U-haul and bust ass after work. That way even though it'd suck, moving furniture and boxes while things were cooling off would still be better than waiting until 10 AM for the U-haul place to be open and then moving in the middle of a very hot day. I STILL think it's a good theory.

My neighbor spots me finishing up moving nearly all my worldly possessions to the U-haul and offers to help out so I give him what I have on hand, $12, and this set of drawers which I'm not using but his kid might be able to use, thinking yeah, having another person is also a pretty good idea.

We show up at my new apartment complex and THE ELEVATOR IS NOT WORKING. My new apartment is on the 4th floor.

I move what furniture I have out of the rental truck to by the elevator, and leave it with a note saying hey, I am going to move this as soon as the elevator is working, call this number if there are problems. My neighbor, a new neighbor, and myself haul ALL THE FUCKING BOXES up the stairs to the 4th floor, where I can do the rest by myself much more easily.

I drop by Safeway with my neighbor, get another $20 for him (so I've paid him $32 total, I think I got off cheap tbh), drop him off, head back to the new place, get all the boxes down the hall into my new apartment, drop off the U-haul, and call it a day at midnight.
