Ages and Question

[potioncat]

Potioncat leaned back from her coding and stretched. All around the 
room were posters, banners, streamers, pencils, notepads, plastic 
cups, and countless other items promoting the phrase: "Catalogue 
Launch June 2005--We Can Do It!!!

She checked on the cake, sitting securely in the Antique Tupperwear 
Cake Carrier, stood and crossed to Jen's cabinet. She knocked 
politely and waited.

Jen opened the door, "Miss Jen," Potioncat started.

"Miss Jen?"

"Well, you're management, now. Shouldn't I call you Miss? I wouldn't 
want to presume that past working relationships would continue now 
that you've been promoted. Or, as you're First Mate on a vessal, 
should I call you Sir?"

"I'm doing the same work as everyone else over long periods of time, 
what makes you think I'm management?"

"Well, your cabinet door has a name plate now, and you no longer 
clock in...that means you aren't paid for overtime...and you came up 
with the big promotion 'Cataloge Launch in June 2005--We Can Do 
It!!!' You're management! And we're all very glad. None of us wanted 
to think....I mean, we're all very happy that you've risen to new 
levels of authority and responsibility. And I've done over a hundred 
codes this week!"

Jen rolled her eyes, "How many over?"

"Well, I have teenagers you know. So, I'd say quite a bit over. I 
wanted you to check the decorations for the cake. This time I bought 
the official Harry Potter cake decoration kit. Or, the closest thing 
I could find to Harry Potter."

Jen took a look, "This isn't Harry Potter! It's Disney's Sword and 
the Stone! Miss Havisham will go berserk if you show up with a King 
Arthur cake. And Kneasy will have apoplexy over the Disney theme!"

"Oh, boy. Good thing we have middle management now! Well, I think I 
have some old Harry Potter action figures somewhere in the car. I'll 
go check under the seats. They'll look just fine on the cake. In the 
meantime will you read this memo for approval and send it up the 
chain?"

Jen took the piece of paper and read:

Waiting for new code numbers for the Calculating Ages Codes.

Could you read Post 47907 and let me know if it is OT? It's a T-BAY 
and I may be missing something.
