packout update #1

A guy from the moving crew just called and said they're about 15 minutes away, which puts them getting here about 8:30. Pretty good for the 8-10am window I was given yesterday.

I think the moving company is out of Columbia, a good 1.25 hour drive from here, depending on what part of Columbia they're in. This means the packers have been up for awhile and they'll have to drive back after they pack today and then back again tomorrow. This begs two questions in my mind:

1. Are they sleep-deprived with greater tendencies to break stuff, drive off the road with my shipment in the back of the truck, not be as energetic as necessary to get this done in two days?

2. Why couldn't the State Department's moving logistics people find a mover in the Charleston area who would accept the bid? There's a great moving company 10 minutes away from here that did our layette shipment to Mozambique when Mac was born. Were they not available or not consulted?

More later.
