Though I am looking and calling as much as I can, I don't believe I'll be able to find an apartment by the time I need to move in the next couple weeks. On the upside, I could probably find a short-term place close enough to where I need to be, as sort of a "base of operations" until I can actually find a real place, but it leaves me in a bit of limbo with regards to my mailing address. Bah!
My tentative plan is to call as many places as I can, see as many as I can this weekend, and while wandering around the neighborhoods, take down information for any "for rent" signs that I see, then call and possibly visit/apply the following week/weekend. That week in Mountain View is sort-of a killer. It does delay by a week when I *need* to move, but it also removes the opportunity to go to complexes, talk, etc.
I suppose worst-case scenario, I sleep in my van in the Google parking garage, and shower at the gym. At least I'll be fed, have internet access, and be safe (it's gated) ;).
