San Jose, again

[gchpaco]

Yesterday was all the fun of waking up to discover my tire was flat, swapping it with the spare, discovering the spare was also flat, discovering that CostCo won't patch tires you didn't buy from them, discovering the other rear tire had virtually no tread left, spending $150 on new rear tires, and having to install them myself because it was too close to closing time.

Today I have been trying to secure housing. There is none. Or rather there is quite a lot for more than I'm paying in S.B., a little that is more or less in my price range, and nobody wants a leaser for three months. This is starting to seriously concern me. I suppose the worst case is I have to call the internship off after a stupidly brief period of time and return to S.B. empty handed. I'm pretty sure I'll go broke if I have to stay in the hotel the entire time.

You know anyone in the area (well, closer than me) you might be able to room with? For that matter, have you checked Craigslist for room-for-rent or housemate-wanted ads? Might not be the most ideal situation, but beats not having a place at all.

I might have found something (checking the place out tomorrow), 20 minutes away from work; I've been using craigslist. Thanks.
