If you brake the 100k post barrier you receive a telegram from the queen.

Play with me.
And Queen will send a telegram for me, for meee, for meeEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Just found out that I'm not going to be one of the people getting laid off. I'm one of the lowest people on the seniority list (which, I'm told, is usually how they determine who gets laid off) so I thought I was gone for sure. Sucks for the people that are getting laid off, but I can't help but have a "better them than me" attitude about the whole thing.

I had a better than usual day working at the Habitat today.
Since they did not need the truck today I carpooled, and had a sounding-board for some matters I'd been wanting to discuss with someone.
Among these was a possible career move suggested by my sister and her new boyfriend (who is taking her to Michigan to meet his parents over spring break this coming week). He is a Latin teacher and the head of the language department at a charter school on the other side of Atlanta. The school is currently kindergarten through 10th grade, but are adding a new grade each year as the first students advance. He has been teaching all levels of Latin himself, but is moving up with the pupils to teach higher levels so they are seeking a new instructor to handle the introductory course at the middle school level. As a charter school, they do not require teachers have any certification or even a relevant degree. I have not formally studied Latin since high school, but went to the Governor's Honors Program for it, got the highest possible score on the AP exam, and have kept it up fairly well. My sister has long thought I should have majored in the classics and become a teacher rather than engineer. The boyfriend said that having an engineering degree instead could be a plus, because they were planning to hire a math teacher next once the budget allows and might prefer one employee teach both. (Incidentally, I was a Math Minor at GHP when a Latin Major, and did take all of my AP BC Calculus notes in both languages.)
We got a little more work than expected done, finishing the exterior sheathing and building most of the interior wall segments.
We were leading two groups of volunteers, one made of students from Emory University and the other from a local Catholic church. The church group arrived early and provided free breakfast and lunch, which I learned they plan to do every Saturday this month.
Several people commended that I did a marvelous job presenting an engaging introduction, history speech, and safety demonstration.
Seven of the volunteers were girls attractive enough for me to consider dating them. I managed a little flirting without any sort of social awkwardness.
The Emory undergrads left early, just before lunch, so I did not talk to the two hottest ladies very much.
The 3rd most prettiest woman (more cute than sexy, resembling Kirsten Dunst circa 2004 but less lithe and more nerdy) is probably a better match for the other two anyway though. I suspect she is the most age-appropriate and the most intelligent. She came with the church group, but is a PhD Candidate at Emory who plans to spend the next 6 years as a Fellow performing cutting edge research on the roles mitochondria play in processes other than respiration. She works with 5 other researchers who all live together in the basement of their lab building and don't get out much. She just recently started attending that church to try to meet people.
We had a really good rapport. She seemed to respond well to some subtle flirting, and was impressed by my random knowledge in diverse fields. When at lunch a coworker brought up that possible charter school job, she said she finds Latin both very useful and very erotic. We also discussed some stuff about her research, GHP, a little about my first love, a lot about the difficulty I've had with my parents' health, etc. After lunch she stuck by my side all afternoon.
She plans to come back next weekend, and maybe the next two too if her schedule permits.
I just found her on Facebook and sent a friend request, although the profile is pretty sparse and does not appear to have been updated since 2014.

Well, now that you have access to more codes and such than the rest of us, you'd better get busy and start fixing them.
Moderators are supposed to take pride in running a clean, functional forum. Breaking posts is not in the job description.
I really doubt that Camilla will become Queen - Charles could abdicate in favor of William (pleasepleaseplease, because I don't want to have to look at him on my $20 bills and coins), or if he doesn't, it would be imprudent to push Camilla forward as Queen. It's been nearly 20 years since Diana died, but I think there would be massive disapproval if Camilla were to be given the title of Queen.
