Question

Could you live 6 weeks of your life without everything you own?

I generally try not to talk about work on this blog, but I felt the need to do so today. I was outside of the office today filling in for a company that we are partners with. This company represents a moving company who was trucking the life belongings of two gentlemen moving across the country. My job today was to be at the new home of these two guys when their belonging were delivered, just in case any media showed up. Well, turns out their belonging took longer than expected to be delivered to them because of an unfortunate accident.

To make a long story short, the moving company was trucking the belonging of these two guys across the country and the truck stalled on train tracks. Minutes later a train came down the tracks and tore the train in half, damaging some of the belonging of these two guys. Some of the stuff wasn't damaged, but a Lexus SUV in the truck was completely totaled. Also on the 18-wheeler was two plasma TVs that the guy owned. He was wondering today if either of them still worked. Since then the guy's have slept on air mattresses and weren't able to access a lot of their things until they were delivered today. That's rough.

It made me wonder if I could live 6 weeks of my life without some of my worldly possessions. I know I couldn't live without my Eli Manning figurines for too long...
