Hi everyone, just a heads-up. Around 7:15 PM at Bent Tree Apartments in Centreville, VA, someone tried to enter our apartment—pushing the door handle for about 3 minutes and then banging really hard on the door for another 3 minutes without identifying himself. He was wearing a jacket similar to the one in the picture, had his face covered, and was approximately 5’9”. Police arrived around 8 PM and took a report. Please stay alert in the surrounding areas.

That's scary, but this probably isn't the best place to put a warning like that. This forum is international, and there may not be anyone else in your vicinity who will see this. You might want to warn people in local Facebook groups, or Nextdoor if you use that. Let's hope it was just some confused person. I had a friend who lived in an apartment complex where the buildings all looked similar and people would wind up at the wrong door fairly regularly.

Like the person above said, this may not be the best place for this post. However, I just want to say that I am sorry you experienced that! I was home alone one day when two men broke in through the kitchen window. I was able to hide upstairs and thankfully the police scared them off quickly, but it's incredibly scary to go through! I hope you are all feeling ok after that.

I have many options to consider but two options below are what I’m thinking of right now.

I want to see your thoughts on which one I should pick.

Job A: Project Engineer. 135K/yr base. 10% signing bonus.

Job B: Senior Project Manager. Contract. $60/hr standard. $90/hr overtime.

Additional Information added / pinned in the comments.

I'm curious if anyone on here is in Metrology/ calibration specifically and what their salary/ hourly rate is. I'm currently @ $33/hr with 3 years of experience. Appreciate the time anyone takes to read this.

What’s the best thing I could buy for my old man’s birthday for about $10k? Would go Rolex (since he knows Rolex) but would prefer new, which limits my options there.

And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(

Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

I'm not a reporter, I'm just a citizen who took a picture during an event and uploaded it to my social media account.

They just posted it without asking me, letting me know, or even mentioning my credits. Is this legal?
