Yesterday mine seemed to get pushed out of the queue after having been in.  It went from so many blocks ahead to you have 0.00000000 to enter the queue.  Now I am looking at more than a double my usual payout whenever it gets paid.  No worries for me though.  I would be hodling in my wallet so I don't mind hodling it in the pool for a bit.  Besides, as someone who has one of those jobs where you are never really "off" I sympathize with WK's position.  Everyone deserves the opportunity to ignore non-emergencies for a few days in a row once in a while.
