The last person wanting storage was looking to store her studio size downtown metro west coast apartment, because she could not stand being all alone. She thought she could handle living alone since her husband got deployed to Iraq serving in the United States Military. When he expressed his concern for her, she asked him how could he be worried about her. He was the one going to Iraq. How could he be worried about me, she said? She loved the way she felt about their first place together. She loved decorating the new apartment, how could she not be okay, she loved living there. He is the one going to Iraq. What a great guy. So concerned for her welfare. She was saying, oh my god, my hero is going to be in harms way, in Iraq for god sake. For god knows how long, that is how it is, she explained, when you are serving in the military. Those being deployed cannot say a lot about where they are going, and it has been two months and not a word from him. Anyway, being home alone, even in a great apartment in a fun city, is harder than she thought it was going to be. Now she understands his concern. She had not even considered how different it would be in that apartment when he was gone. She thought she was going to be fine. But now that she has been alone for two months she finds she is spending all her time waiting for that phone call or email.
What a way for nineteen-year-old newlyweds to start off a marriage, let alone a life. She spoke to her mother who lives upstate and her mother told her she should move home until her husband comes back. Her mom said she would be down in two weeks with her two brothers to help her move and that she should prepare by looking for storage to reserve and find a truck rental company.
She looked online and found lots of facilities with great amenities being offered. She found a climate controlled 5x15 unit available at a convenient location with a great introductory two-month special rate and competitively priced monthly rate and called the facility to rent it. It was reassuring to know there was security at the storage property offering controlled gate access and video surveillance. She booked the unit over the phone with a 10-dollar nonrefundable pre-payment on her credit card to hold the unit and was told it was good for three days. To her surprise, when she asked for a referral for a truck rental company, the facility offered free use of the truck to make her move in easy. She decided she would go to the storage place the next day to sign the month-to-month contract, get moving supplies, including a lock, and schedule the truck. Now she had something to keep her busy for the next two weeks and was ready to get packing. As her brothers were coming in two weeks with her mother, she put down the deposit for the truck on her credit card to reserve its use, and went ahead and rented her 5x15 unit and set up her account with a credit card for monthly billing. This way she could pay her storage bill every month from her moms house over the phone by charging the credit card on file at the store.
