OK, I gotta sign a new lease in about 6 weeks and have decided I have no interest in stay in the current crap apartment I am in.
Here are my two opitions:
1. Move back to "Brittany Courts" where I used to live. The upside: A bunch of my firends live there, it is close to my parents and my band, I have already lived there and love the place. The downside: It would add about 10-15 minutes to my drive to work, and traffic can be a real bitch some mornings.
2. Move somewhere closer to work in Naperville. The upside: Cut my drive in half (50 minutes to 25 minutes). the downside: Live in Naperhell (suburban nightmare fo apartments and traffic), will end up driving out to 'Brittany Cts' many nights to visit people, , apartments could be great or could turn out to suck (i.e. "great unkown")
Cost on the places I am looking at are all about the same.
House is not an option, money issues. Additionally, I may eventually leave my job at some point, as I have come to the conclusion there is zero room for advancement, and the healthcare coverage is just short of 'don't get sick.' May be six months, may be a year+, don't know.
Poll to follow. Going to go to a few complexes this afternoon to check them out.
