moving update

[arethinn]

Done:

• Reservation for moving people to park a big-ass trailer in front of my house for two days.


• Reservation for hideously expensive car rental*.


• Plans for storage facility (which I can't actually reserve until 2 weeks in advance). Storage facilitiy reconned to be sure of being able to get said big-ass trailer to needed location.


• Plans for health insurance to cover 3 months before OHIP eligibility.

Still to do:

• See if I need to do any kind of medical release stuff with Kaiser as I did with my dentist.


• Acquire sufficient boxes and packing material. The large television I got from the_misha and tiggrrl is going to be especially Chinese-interesting. (Think about hitting up, like, a Circuit City or something for a big enough box.)


• Extract letters of reference from last two supervisors.


• Continue transferring MST3K to DVD to avoid having to take tons of VHS tapes along with me (progressing pretty well on this - up to about 3/5, maybe even 2/3 complete?).


• Finish revising resume.


• Check past credit card bill to see when to cancel dial-up ISP account to avoid being billed for a month I won't use.


• Take sufficient money out of Commonwealth account and put it in Wells Fargo, where it's accessible to me in Canada. (How am I going to handle the bulkier transfer involved in setting up my Canadian bank accounts?)

Hmm... nothing else coming to mind at the moment. Sure there are probably other things escaping me without the checklist thing in front of me...

* - It really gets up there when you rent for a month. I dunno how soon I'm going to be able to buy a car, see, but I need something in which to get around while applying for jobs and all. And in the words of the Arrogant Worms, "screw the GST"! The rate by itself is bad enough without tacking an extra $107.83 in PST/GST on it. (sailin' down to Saskatoon; the terror of the seas...)
