OK, so I think it was yesterday that I posted about our exciting move to Brooklyn. Not that I want to dilute the excitement but the truth of the matter is that moving sucks. Aparently things are done a little differently in Brooklyn and we do not simply move into an apartment. Well, we do move into an apartment but the designations of apartments is a little confusing. We are moving to Apartment 3, which is on the 3rd floor of the building...if you count the garden apartment as a floor and apartment 1. The cable company seems to refer to our apartment as apartment 2, because they look at the garden floor as "Garden" or "Apartment A". That coupled with the fact that the tenants in apartment 4, 4th floor, have registered their cable as apartment 3 is making this a very taxing experience. Why is there not one central agency that all external companies refer to for your address...sort of like social security. If I could register my address with one centralized agency that all companies and organizations refer to in real time for sending correspondence I would be very excited. There are several agencies which coduct a similar service, but they are not centralized. Surprisingly enough, the easiest thing to change is the mailing address itself through the United States Post Office Movers Guide. You simply fill out the forms. You can pay $1 to process the form online or print it out and mail it for free. I took advantage of this service so let's see how it works out.
