Movin' On Down Da Road

In two weeks I'll be the proud renter of a much nicer apartment. Long story short, when I was out of work for 5 months, I moved out of the 2BR 2.5BA 2-level "luxury apartment home" in Sunnyvale to a no frills 1BR cut-rate place for less than half the rent. Just being practical.

There's a long story behind why I chose the place back in December 2001. I'm not telling it here (someone hold up the APPLAUSE sign, please).

So now that I'm back at the job I was laid off from, at about the same salary, I'm moving to nicer digs. If they had given me a rent break when I was struggling, the folks at the lavish Briarwood Apartments would have gotten my repeat business. But because they were a-holes about it, they won't. Another long story for another time. Okay wise guy in the back, you can stop clapping now.
