      Got it, that's a funny way to call movers. Relocation agents (employed or freelancing) can easily bill $1000/day over here so I was a bit confused.

      I recall the relocation agent I was setup with when hubting apartments in SF.. She was freelancing and looking forward to Obamacare -- having not had healthcare in 15 years.

I almost left the continent when HR tried to convince me I should trust "retroactive" insurance -- and I would get the policy after 30 days, lol.. maybe in just paranoid :)
