Spring Cleaning

So, I just cleaned my bathtub/shower.

The good news is; I’m no longer afraid that I was going to have my security deposit garnished because I left permanent discoloration on in the shower.

The bad news is; I’m going to have to live with the visual memories of cleaning that crap off.

The good news again is; I will never again let a shower get that dirty.

God bless fiberglass. All things considered, it cleans off quite nicely.

I feel dirty. It’s a shame I can’t really take a shower now to clean myself off… that wouldn’t quite work, the psychological damage has been done.

Rent

So Luke and I are walking back to my apartment, and there’s a letter stuck in my door. I jokingly say “wouldn’t that be funny if they were raising my rent.”

Of course, it was a notice that my rent was going up $150 a month, effective 7/1/01. Ironically, if everything goes as planned, I’ll be out of here before then… it’s just funny. Of course, it’s been three years and it’s only gone up once and it was only $50 at that.

So we’re going to look at this one place that Ken really likes, but it’s in Foster City. I have to accept that no matter where I move to, my commute is going to get longer, it’s just that this is going from 10 minutes to 40 minutes – each way. That’s an hour a day that I’d now be losing. Well, maybe less if I don’t drive during rush hour.

It had better be worth it, although at this point, saving the extra money may make it… but there’s always the option of another place that isn’t as far.

Well, at least this clinches it… I’m definately moving.
