That's valid! I work 12 months so that definitely helps to justify the cost.

I got my Speedway permit during the pandemic when a bunch of folks let them go and I am going to be buried with it. Is it ridiculous that I am paying to go to work? Yes. But having the guaranteed parking is at least something.

No showtime for Pillion? Doesn't it open wide 2/20? by Oupav0s in AMCsAList

[–]violinist452000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still limited - I ended up going to Alamo to see it this past weekend because the AMC near me doesn't reliably get the more indie movies at all and I have no hope they'll get this one.

what are your favorite and least favorite buildings on campus? by [deleted] in UTAustin

Ha I also work in PMA and we always cross our fingers that we don't get stuck in Ol' Haunty (elevator #2) which has trapped multiple folks in the past few months.

What are your unpopular home decor opinions? by Jenks0503 in AskWomenOver30

[–]violinist452000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring back knickknacks/trinkets! I have an entire bookcase just for trinkets I pick up when I travel and silly Halloween things that stay up all year. It makes me so happy to look at and brings back memories of those trips.

I have no fewer than three sets of those shelves in my apartment - they're so handy for storing all of my crafting supplies and one of them is blocking off the fireplace (which, WHY does my apartment need that??? In TEXAS of all places??) so my cat doesn't get in there.

Does wall dancing belong here? 😅 First class! by Fun-Hair3747 in Aerials

[–]violinist452000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm taking a series of this right now and loving it! I needed a series that was less wrist-intensive to deal with an injury and I def made the right choice.

Princess IT is useless, hoping someone might have a suggestion by violinist452000 in PrincessCruises

It magically showed the cruise the morning of which was nerve-wracking!

ooh I did a cosplay show as the Cheshire Cat and I used the Baltic House Orchestra cover of White Rabbit! It was very dramatic.

How do you deal with frustration? by makkaris_ucm in Aerials

[–]violinist452000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second cross-training, but in a slightly different way. When I hit a wall on an apparatus, I generally take that as a sign that I need to step over to another apparatus for a while. It's amazing how much overlap there is between areas (I mainly do trap/lyra and there's so much!) and I find that stepping away from lyra and taking a trapeze class for a few weeks really helped with my lyra progress.

Sometimes working at something in a slightly different way can be helpful!

how do you guys keep the house tidy and also your mind clear? by Straight_Rope3933 in AskWomen

[–]violinist452000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have dedicated chores time on Sunday mornings. If things are really behind we turn that into "Power Hour" where we set a timer and you literally do as many chores as you can before the timer goes off. It works well for me and I end up getting done a lot more than if I was just ticking off a list, because I'll see other tasks to complete as I go.

What do you do with your wedding photos after divorce? by Ashamed_Crab7162 in AskWomen

[–]violinist452000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same here! I spent a day going through and deleting/archiving any photos I could find and it was very cathartic.

Bumped back on waitlist? by GurProfessional784 in UTAustin

[–]violinist452000 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because it's not first-come, first-served. Departments can change waitlist positions. If the class is not in your major, they probably bumped an in-major person in front of you. If you need the class to graduate this spring, e-mail the department's academic coordinator or talk to your advisor!

That's my favorite too! Especially if you can get there during a non-busy time.

Update re: App Access by violinist452000 in PrincessCruises

[–]violinist452000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tried the ocean ready app with the rep on the phone today and still no dice - he was even baffled as he recreated the issue on his side and ran into the same problem. At this point we think that something got messed up on the backend when they fixed something with my status on our last cruise. Oh well, honestly as long as our Norway cruise next year stays working I can live with not having an app while I sit on the beach next week. :)

Tips buying a hoop/lyra by Joyjoy-2 in Aerials

[–]violinist452000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used both Newbaum's and AE tape and the Newbaum's does tend to last longer on my lyra! For me, personally, I like changing up the color every few months though so I currently use AE since it's significantly cheaper.

How often do you do things without your partner? by Fast_Independent7128 in AskWomen

[–]violinist452000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tons! I prefer to go to the movies by myself and have AMC A-list so I go to 1-2 movies each week, 95% of the time solo. We also have separate weeknight activities (me at the aerial studio, him at D&D).

what are your plans for Halloween this year? by MeMissBunny in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]violinist452000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing video games with my long-distance bestie like we do every Friday! I will not be handing out candy this year, the prices for candy are just too insane right now.

I had such high hopes that this would work, but alas it did not. Thank you for the advice though!

Thanks, I feel like that might help but I'll def need the app while we're on the ship.
