Hello from 2047
Hi Mark, this is you, but it's 2047 now. I paid to send a timecoded message back to you (I couldn't resist---this is too cool) in 2010. You won't be able to directly ask me any questions, but that's just a limitation of the technology.
Anyways, *don't worry*, everything's cool now. No major calamities happened in the last 37 years. But I can't get too deep into that---it's been a long and strange ride, as they say. Suffice it to say, take the L5 job the *first* time they offer it. Don't wait for the next round. You'd have made it, I know.
Observation: You are at the cusp of a radical transformation of society. If I could just send back a garg, it would provide so much information. Anyways, you probably still think that there's no way intelligence will ever trump money for world power. Well, you would be wrong. Nerds actually rule the world now. No shit. Start getting used to it, and you'll be a decade ahead of the plebes.
They're telling me to stop writing. How did you ever use these keyboards all the time! This thing is messed up!
Be safe, tell your family that they're important, enjoy your friends, don't "work" too much, but keep busy!
