Timelies all!
No plans for the weekend here. How about you?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
ION, I just got an email from a chorus I used to sing with about an opportunity to sing at Carnegie Hall. It costs $750 just to be in the concert! You still have to figure out transportation and accommodations! Dana, have you ever heard of something like this?
Is it with Mid-America? I've done Carnegie Hall stuff, and my mother conducts for them every few years. I thought they usually did a package, though. Maybe because you're relatively close to the city? It doesn't get you any meals, or a post-concert cruise or anything?

In hindsight, going outside this inclement afternoon probably was not my best idea ever.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's DCINY, and that doesn't get you anything other than singing at Carnegie Hall.

This article helps me understand the model, but I still find it a little mind-boggling. [link]

I'd like to do my taxes, but the electronic w2 from old CSC is being held hostage. It insists I don't exist. Which means I'll have to wait for the paper and hope they didn't fuck that up. I mean, they lost $1750 of my HSA for a month or so....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I found out a college friend is in town just for a day and was going to head over after work, but then her dinner plans moved up and now I have heard nothing. It would be 8 at the earliest to get to her at this point. Crazy, but I think it's past the point I am willing to head out to quickly see someone.

There are times I think about looking for a different job to see if I could get a salary bump that way. Then I look at the fact that I like my job, I have good connections at work, and the luxury to work flexible hours and flexible locations. So, fear of change and starting over somewhere else has kept me here.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Okay, legit question because I've never bought a car outright before (I've always financed it, so the dealer held the title until it was paid):
We have the title for our new car in our names. We just need to take it to a BMV branch to register it, right? We don't need to go to the title agency first? The title is in our names and notarized and whatnot.
(Without you guys, I would fail SO HARD at adulting.)
