We had an unnerving experience last month, but it all worked out fine and we have resettled as though we do this every day. The CEO of the company called me in and said, “You are moving to LA in a big rush. There are major problems at the fields. Here are your tickets. Get moving, Joe!” Two first class tickets - London to LA - tonight. I was too shocked to respond. I called my wife and told her to pack a case for herself and a case for me. Then I had my secretary call the moving services and get 3 quotations for the move. “The move is to include everything,” I yelled as I grabbed the phone and started attending to other personal matters, like a hotel in LA until we started breathing again.
Well, the moving services she called all called back with many questions, such as what size house were we moving. They all wanted the number of rooms, number of occupants, what was included and so on. She gave all the moving services the full information and selected the second cheapest one. She and the moving services were great. I left a key with her and she did the whole thing on her own, with the moving services, that is.
