The Angry Postman

[SGB]

As inspired by

steveanne
Somewhere, there is an angry postal worker trying to track me down. And he's got a bag full of credit card applications with him.

Ok, so we seem like a fairly mobile bunch. How many times have you moved as an adult (post highschool or undergrad college)?

[Edit: Sorry, Skel!]

For me, 18 moves in the last 14 years. (It's a very long story.)

 

[Richmond Jake]

Eight moves since high school. Lived in the same house the first 18 years of my life.

 

[biscuit]

12 moves in the eight years since high school. Seven of those were during undergrad years.

 

[Repo Man]

10 moves in 12 years since leaving my parents house for college. Most of them were within a 1 mile radius of each other.

I just got done with what I hope to be my final move prior to purchasing a house.

 

[Otis]

13 times since end of undergraduate school.

 

[giff57]

13 times since 1975

[Edit: Sorry, Skel!]

Huh?
Why sorry? 'cause I have no credit card? 'cause I just got out of HS last year? 'cause I haven't moved as much? (althought I like traveling a lot )

Anyways... I hate my postman...mabye I'll go postal on his a$$

 

[JNL]

11 times in my life - comparatively few compared to you lot!

The upcoming move in a week and a half will be the 16th residence I've lived in since moving out of my parents' place in 1987 to go to University. I'm hoping this will be the last one for a long time though...

I had to do the exercise of tracking down every address I have lived at since I was 18, in order to apply for permanent residency up here. It took the better part of three months to find all the addresses, as many of the management companies I rented from were closed now.

Univ. of California Davis 3/88 to 6/88
Los Angeles, California 6/88 to 9/88
Davis, California 9/88 to 9/89
Davis, California 9/89 to 9/90
Sacramento, California 9/90 to 9/91
Sacramento, California 9/91 to 9/92
Sacramento, California 9/92 to 12/92
Davis, California 12/92 to 7/93
Davis, California 7/93 to 7/94
Sacramento, California 7/94 to 10/94
Woodland, California 10/94 to 9/95
Oak Harbor, WA 9/95 to 5/98
Portland, OR 5/98 to 1/00
Vancouver, WA 1/00 to 12/01
Edmonton, AB 12/01 to present

Surprisingly, I have only held down four planning jobs from 1989 to now. I just move a lot I guess.

 

[donk]

Since graduating from university, 3 moves in 8 years.
During university 3 moves (dorm, house, house)
Before university, same place for 8 years, then a tonne of moves(10-15 in 12 years) before finally settling.

If we are counting addresses (not cities), I have moved 5 times since undergrad. That would be 5 times in the last 5 years. So; every year.

I am about to move for the 6th.

*I also moved every year of undergrad, so in a sence I have moved every year since high school. :-S

**though I lived in the same house my entire childhood. and mom still lives there.

Eight times since graduating in 1996.

8 times since high school, I hate moving, and i really hate moving since the last time I moved the forward mail request was never actually put into place and my old psycho roomate held my mail for ransom.

[Richmond Jake]

Alan: are you playing with yourself again in this picture?

 

[Wannaplan?]

Hi neighbor. You look new around here. I'm lonely. Would you like to come to my place?

 

[SkeLeton]

LMAO

Now I've only moved from Valdivia when I went to the US, and have moved a few times inside Valdivia. So I'm not that mobile... but that's because my parents work at the University.

 

[JNA]

Utah - 4 times,
Michigan,
Texas,
Colorado - 2 times,
Indiana

with 3 types of addresses
1 - Street
2 - Po Box
3 - None (on the road/general delivery)

 

[Plannerbabs]

ten times since 1993, all within the same state. and now all of my stuff fits into a cargo van and a vw.

 

[Trail Nazi]

Since high school, I have moved (counting all of the times in between school breaks where you have to vacate the dorms) 12 times. I think that every time that I move, I will clean up and get rid of a ton of stuff, but I think that the junk must have reproducing capabilities because I still have a ton of crap. Now, I have a ton more just for the baby. I don’t even collect anything but dustbunnies. Where does this stuff come from?
