Okay, problem.

1. I sign my lease Monday.
2. Apartment is available starting 1 February- Tuesday.
3. Apartment company charges a move-in fee, according to the realtor. This is more common than you'd think; I've found that quite a lot of NJ property owners do this, as do property owners in other states.
4. The move-in fee is $300 if I move on a weekday and $500 if I move on a weekend.
5. My father cannot help me move stuff on a weekday.
6. My building has no elevator.
7. I cannot move my own desk by myself. My bed, maybe. One plank at a time. But not my desk. And my boxes of books, well, they're big too.

If any of you are in the New York City area- or rather, the northern New Jersey area, specifically Jersey City- and can somehow help me move on Thursday, I would be soooooooooo grateful. Please? Anyone I actually know?

Know any college students? I've often found college students are willing to be paid relatively small amounts for that sort of thing, especially if there's pizza afterwards.

Or you could see if you could get a moving company to do just the furniture; Scott and I did that moving from the apartment to the house and it didn't cost a whole lot because of the short distance and just furniture (no having to box up anyone's possessions). Granted, that means making sure you get everything else out of the furniture's way first, but....
