I used Atlas to move from central NY

I hope my little slide show file comes through, it may not, so suffice it to say it was bad.

After packing half the "stuff" myself, I had emergency surgery and the moving company had to finish. They screwed up royally, despite explicit instructions. After 4 days of packing they gave me 34 sheets of paper to sign at the last minute that listed 1,296 items. Sadly, I signed it without looking. Imagine my surprise when damaged items appeared in Florida, and they told me it "was like that". I looked at those 34 pages and lo and behold, ALL 1,296 items were marked as "damaged" on ALL 6 sides. They must have thought I was living in a junk shop. To their surprise, 1,288 of the 1,296 items had absolutely NO DAMAGE. I invited them to speculate as to whether their piece of paper would stand up in court despite my signature. Naturally, they declined and fixed what they could.
