Thumbs up Project in Glendale, but I live in OC

So my company is gonna be sending me to Glendale for an 8 week project. Only problem is I live in OC . I guess if I have to I will drive the 50miles each way everyday, but it sounds do-able now, but I know after a few days I'll be ready to put a gun in my mouth any ideas guys maybe someone know about a place I could rent short term in the area

ask your company to pay for a hotel or furnished unit.

Or pay your gas at the very least.

I knew people that used to commute that way. Sucked donkey balls. They'd get up really, really early and go home late.

Yea I'd be happy with a gas card or something. I did the math and It's gonna cost me about $20-$25 a day in gas.

I went to apartments.com and looked around a bit. But one of my buddies in real estate told me I'd be better off getting a hotel/motel or finding a private party willing to rent out a room.

OMG I'd have to leave now to make it by Monday

But I was thinking along the same lines. Maybe drive my old car. The mileage is about the same, but I won't have to put 91 octane in

I know some motels do a month to month package deal and such...as to which ones and whether there are any available around Glendale/eaglerock/pasadena your on your own. Good luck I know its not the gas that would kill me...its the drive and traffic.

Yea I love to drive, but when its for pleasure, not sitting in a shirt and tie in LA traffic. I've been spoiled with my 14miles TOTAL commute everyday
