1. Allow for coping techniques. We are all different and need to cope in different ways. If that means that Mr. Rant needs to aimlessly roam around the only available 4 feet of floor space in circles for about 8 minutes in a moment of being totally lost, so be it.
2. Do not complain about someone's smell unless you've smelt yourself first.
3. If someone is in charge of a task, do not micromanage them. I have to say I'm pretty damn good at this one. Mr. Rant, on the other hand, is the micromanaging queen of the world. It's a part of his charm.
4. Have sex. I don't care if it is on a box. Someone should get laid during a time like this.
5. Remember that a possible zombie invasion is not a good excuse for keeping old crap that needs to be thrown out.
6. Less girliness ladies! Men can hardly handle it on a normal day. It's more than enough to push them over the edge in the midst of choas. Now if that was what you were going for, bring on the pink!
7. If someone is on the phone with a company, do not attempt to find out what is happening and/or start having your own imaginary conversation with the idiot the other person is talking to. I, for one, can not help but do this. I infuriate Mr. Rant as I am always wrong about what is happening on the other end and get way too riled up. What can I say, it's part of my charm.
8. Should someone have a mini meltdown, stay calm. This is normal with moves. Hell, I just had one this morning.
9. If you are the one who had the meltdown, apologize immediately if not sooner. Said it already but sorry Mr. Rant!
10. If all hell breaks lose, build a box fort and have a picnic. Humor can get you though just about anything.
you are so much like your dad....sorry Mr Rant. Having said that good job!!! If I post this anonymously will you still know it's me?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move!!!
ReplyDeleteHang in there! Moving is rough, but in the end you have a new home to enjoy sans all the crap that you were able to through away -- which is a great thing.
