liresiusWell, I've decided to move to Nagoya. It's more expensive, but I'm sick to death of this dive I'm living in. Sure the rent is great, but I sooo badly need a change to lift my spirits. Tho, the main reason for moving is to cut down on the commuting time. I'm just getting totally worn down by it. Seven years is enough. The only bad thing about the decision is that as soon as I decide to move I finally get some work in this city (Gifu). So I'll have to commute back here at least once a week. But this lioness' share (4 out of 5) days of the work is definitely in Nagoya so it still makes sense to move.
that I can afford it - not to get a palace mind, but something even slighly better is going to cost me at least double what I pay here. As they say, "Location, location, location!" So, tomorrow and on Monday, I've set up appointments to look at some apartments. Fingers crossed I'll have some good ones to choose from!
I've got two more days of work at universities this year starting in April and something pretty good in store for 2009, but that's all hugely sekkrit at the mo ... Funny though, my main job - the two year college has a much better pay rate than the 2 fully fledged universities that I've scored new work at this year.
In other news ... The Australian Parliament has finally said " Sorry!" About bloody time!
Also, I'm rather pleased with my latest (first) popart icon. Always good to learn a bit more about PS. *points left* I bet you all can guess who is the silhouette *g*

Date: 2008-02-15 12:06 am (UTC)Great to hear your good news-fingers crossed that it all works out OK.
Commuting is Hell, wherever you're doing it so that will be an improvement if you can ditch that. Surely the reduction in transport costs will help to pay for the hopefully nice new appartment?
And yes, there does come a time when you want a bit more than the bare bones approach to your home.
All the best, Miso :)
