Paul's Comments

I currently rent a room in a house with two other people. The landlord has decided not to renew the lease, and has basically given me and everyone else a little over 30 days, e.g. until the 30th of April. So now I have to go through all the trouble and misery involved in finding a new place to live.

Oh well, such is life. I'm wondering if I should solicit information from people who might have ideas of places in the DC metro area where they are looking for a roommate. Then again, I doubt there are that many people who read this blog. I'll go back and check out Craigslist, it's where I found the current place. I might also start a subscription to the Washington Post in order to check out roommate listings there too.

There may be some corrollary here. I lived at one place in California for maybe 15 years. Moved to Washington, DC and stayed there a year. Moved to Maryland and stayed there for about eight years. Moved to another location in Maryland and stayed there nine months, then moved to Virginia, stayed there for about eight years, and now I've been here seven months, so maybe it turns out that every other move is short term, and the next one will be long term. Maybe I'll find a place closer to the Washington Metro area or some other metropolitan area where I can live near a bus line, as opposed to living out here in the sticks in Loudoun County.

So I'll see what happens. I'll keep my fingers crossed and I'm going to keep busy because 30 days isn't a lot of time.

[Update 4/16/2008] The landlord has given us an extension, my understanding we're extended until June 4. We shall see.
