So today Krishni realized that a deadline for submitting a book for consideration for this certain award is tomorrow. And she started freaking out until we realized that it only had to be postmarked by tomorrow. So we heaved a sigh of relief. I then started looking at information I had on other awards we thought we might be able to win. The deadline for one: today. And it had to be received by today. So I frantically filled out the applications, and Krishni's like, "Could you please drive it out to their office?" (in Rockville, the next town over). So I got to drive around the lovely suburbs of D.C. instead of doing actual work. Whee! That killed a little over an hour.
In other news, I started saving for the future. Today was payday, so on my way back from Rockville, I stopped at the bank and transferred $50 from checking to savings. Not a ton, I know, but when you add it to the money I already had in savings, then consider $50 for every paycheck...it'll add up. I just don't want to have to touch it for a long time.
And I finally got Instant Messenger to configure itself to my home computer. Yay!
Current song in my head:
"Ragtime" from the show Ragtime
