QotD: Unpacking
Posted October 13th, 2004 @ 08:11pm by Erik J. Barzeski
Question: When unpacking, what's the first thing you worry about? Second? Last?
My Answer: The computer, then the entertainment center. Last? The bedroom, the kitchen, the bathroom… any of those, much to the dismay of those who love me. 🙂

My guess would have been that you worried about the ADA first 🙂

0. The phone (I don't carry a cell phone, and someone might want to call me) .. labeled "0" because this is usually done a few days before I actually move (to test the phone line to make sure it is working .. similarly, there is at least one working lamp)
1. Someplace to sleep (because moving is a lot of work, and I'll want to sleep before I'm finished)
2. A small subset of my clothing (because whatever I was wearing during the move probably stinks, so I will want to change!)
3. Furniture.. need to get it at least somewhat arranged before I can unpack much stuff. Bookcases, for example, should be against walls before I start unpacking books.
after that, I don't know. whatever boxes are on top, I guess.
The computer usually doesn't come too soon, because it takes (at least) a few days for the DSL to be moved to the new phone line.
Kitchen stuff can wait 2-3 days (moving is a good excuse to eat out) but will get done before a lot of other stuff.
