math

Okay.  Having added up my rent, student loan payment, cell phone, cable, land line, DSL, curling dues (including locker rental, divided by 12), chorus dues (likewise divided by 12), car insurance (divided by 6, since I'm billed in half-years), renters insurance, mattress payment (yay free financing), and car tax (divided by 12), it looks like if today's interviewers offer me the job I will in fact be able to take it, provided a) gas prices stay below about $5/gallon and b) I don't go off any end of any depth with respect to any aspect of my life.

I had the calculator do this math, so I know the arithmetic is right.  And I don't think I've forgotten any of my non-negotiable expenses.  So, bottom line, if they offer it, I think I'll take it.  (And look for some freelance something-else on the side.)


In other news, I thought it was impressive that I'd managed to lose a pen in my living room -- I was writing with it and then I couldn't find it.  Bizarre.  But it turns out I stuck it in my hair.  :-)

It's a membership fee. Not a lot, not like the curling dues. Just, a volunteer chorus, you know, the membership kicks in to at least nominally help defray expenses (which are considerable).

Groceries are variable, which is why they haven't gone in to the list of everything. :-)
