All systems: Go! Full speed ahead!

What a busy day. In the space of about four hours, I:
- Filled out the application for the new apartment
- Got it approved
- Filled out the 40 page lease
- Got it approved
- Got power turned on in the new place
- Got Comcast set up again
- Bought a Comcast-approved modem (rent from Comcast for $10 a month, minimum 12 months, or buy one outright for $70? I wish I had known buying was an option before I rented from them for TEN YEARS).
- Contacted the movers, though haven't heard back from them yet, which is a tad worrying. I'll contact them tomorrow if I don't hear from them by lunchtime.

Since I'm moving on Monday (movers permitted...), I was worried where the modem would be delivered, so I'm trying Amazon Locker for the first time. There are lockers in various placed (in my case, at a 7-11 up the road) and Amazon will deliver it there. Then you punch in a code, and one of the locker doors open for you. Hopefully that will go smoothly.

Saturday: Pick up keys to new place.
Monday: Movers.
Tuesday: Turn keys to current place in.

Hopefully by this time next week, I'll be settled into my new apartment FOR GOOD (or at least for a year...).

Well, that was fast! Yay for finding a place and getting everything ready to go!

I'd never even heard of Amazon Locker before -- that's pretty cool! Not that I'm likely to need to use it any time soon, but there are 2 not too far away.

Oh wow! Talk about busy! I really hope this new place works out great.

OH SHIT, I wish I had known you were still in the dark about the modem - I just learned it last year too, I was lucky, I learned it right when they jacked up the rent from five dollars to ten a month, and also just as my old one from them was no longer supported, so when I returned it I was like NEWP GONNA BUY MY OWN THANKS.

Anyway I am sad you did not know, now I wish I had posted about it. But damn girl, that's some efficient work you got done today.

Let me know how Amazon locker works! I have never had to use it because the warehouse in my state is like, literally five miles from me.

Damn! Congrats! I've been lurking about your apartment saga; I just hope the new place is loads better than this one.

I've used Amazon Locker before, where they have it installed in a nearby grocery store. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine with it, Amazon has delivery down to a well-oiled science.

Yay for a new and better place. The Amazon locker thing sounds very cloak and dagger.

Yay for a new place!

The difference in management between the new apartment complex and the one you were about to move into is already apparent!
