I know how you feel as I moved around in my job many times as well. The rule here was, that if I packed it myself, I had to buy my own insurance, so after a while I just allowed them to do it because I could always replace anything with something new with the insurance money. The only thing that happened in all the moves was that one removalist stole a portfolio of my drawings...as I haven't reached Picasso's status yet, they are of little use to him. Now, I know it is easier said than done, but these things are only things and if we put it into perspective and relax a little bit, the moves become less traumatic. I also got used to it as I moved 10 times before I was 20 and then every 2 to 5 years after that with my job.Now that I am retired, it is the longest time I have ever been in a place and that is 6 years - probably get carted off to the old age place next.
