I want to move to Phoenix.
I have a handful of friends there. I have family there. I realized it'd be better for me health wise when I was very near to going to the hospital during my bout with covid. I don't really have anyone here I could call on to, say, check on my cats while I'm in the hospital. Or to come help me out.
Anyway. That's not the peeve.
The peeve is I wanted to start getting rough numbers so I could begin saving up once I have a job again. This move I want to hire movers. I'm on the second floor (I hired one person off task rabbit to help me move in here and it still laid me out for days) so I'd rather pay people to do that shit. Esp. since I'd want o make the drive in one day. It'd be much easier to load a car with the essentials and my two cats than.....a truck cab.
So I filled out a couple 'give me a quote' forms online and Jesus fuck these people won't leave me alone. Well. One company did once I explained hey I'm just getting rough numbers to plan. Which means they'll probably get my business. One guy tried to bully me into giving them money anyway. He and other companies are calling me multiple times a day. If I block their number, they just call from another one.
So pro tip: don't try getting a quote until you're good and ready. And then just pick a single company and use them. Even if it might be more expensive. Asking multiple companies for quotes to try to save money is fucking miserable.
