It's official. I've lost all hope in humanity. Lord Jesus come quickly... 
You know, it's actually kind of funny because I can predict bazaar outcomes to situations now and be exactly right. Not because I'm a "prophet" or something, but because I have become so accustomed to people's behavior and the nature of evil.
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
- 2 Timothy 3:1-7

Transposing. When you're on the worship team you have to do that a lot. Someone ends up saying something like, "The key of C doesn't work, we'd be better off doing this in F#!" and then the fun begins! It only takes me like 10 seconds because I've been transposing songs since I was 13 but the rest of the team has to catch on.
It's so easy though. Most songs only use the 1sts, 4ths, 5ths, and (minor) 6ths (like if it's in the key of G - most worship songs just use G maj., C maj., D maj., E min.) of keys anyhow (and surprisingly the majority of the time IN THAT ORDER). So you just gotta know what those are for each key and the rest kind of fills in the blank for itself...but if you know your major scales then it's a cake walk.
But nobody else actually understands that, so when we change the key to a song, I usually am the one to tell the bassist what notes most likely need to be played, and tell the pianist what the chord progression is.

Yeah, we see all you Singles regulars poking your head into the chat room, and then taking off when you see who's around.

Seriously, "now" does not exist but for a nanosecond, like a vapor it's gone. Time is an illusion. We're either reflecting about the past or contemplating the future. But "right here, right now" is gone before you can even say those words. The only firm and invariable "now" is in the eternal equation.

I'm a music nerd (so don't let this give you the idea you were comprehensible... ) but I understood it perfectly. And good thing you can do that. Some people don't have the vocal range to just drop or rise an octave, and transposing to a different key is all they got left.
But really... F#? Why not just go to G and save the pianist a lot of trouble?
