While I appreciate their interest in my security, it is just proving to be a ginormous pain in my ass.
The original plan was to move my stuff from Chicago to Ohio on the 30th, then drive to VA and make the rounds there. Then my mom volunteered to drive a van down with furniture if we left on the 30th. This moved my Chicago departure up. And I am in no hurry to leave the city.
In case the idea of spending a week driving, moving crap, and generally being unsettled wasn't unappealing enough, my leasing agency has decided to make my life even more difficult.
They have refused to mail me my key. They will not let someone else pick it up for me with my authorization. (Despite telling me otherwise this week.) And they are only open until 5. I have to be there myself, picture ID in hand to not only pick up my key, but do a walk-thru, on their time. Given that it takes about 7 hours to get from Chicago, not counting traffic, this isn't so much a practical option. (I don't relish the idea of leaving all my worldly goods in my car overnight on a major thoroughfare so I can leave at 5AM, because moving them out of the house at that hour is not an option.)
To say the least, I am pissed. It's bad enough that they have funny ideas about when they can start charging me rent, but they were completely inflexible with what shouldn't be that outrageous of a request. This doesn't bode well for the upcoming year.
Besides racing to Athens on the 28th or risk sleeping in my car, I am kind of out of plans. I don't want to spend $70 on a motel when I have an apartment I am already paying rent on, but at least I would have a place to stay instead of being locked out because my leasing agency sucks. Thoughts?

Load your stuff late in the day and leave at like midnight instead of the next morning at 5AM? Night driving means less traffic. Also means one less night in Chicago though. Tough choices! Sorry they are being butt-munches!
