Yes drugs are easier for homeless people because some of those drugs stop them from being hungry.

We had ours done by Clifton Man. Very respectful, washed their hands every time before touching the baby. Sanitized their equipment, wore booties and KN95 masks before entering the home. PM me if you want more details. We used them on Monday.

Something alot of these articles miss is that non-tech companies that are hiring laid off tech workers from big tech companies lack the technical infrastructure that made everyones’ lives easier at big tech companies. As an engineer at a non-tech company, you have to deal with a ton of bs by yourself and there’s no unified system, codebase, libraries, design language, etc. The salary, options, etc are all obviously worse but the day to day becomes a real headache when you leave big tech for these non-tech companies.

That’s tight even with PreCheck.
Empower is another app alternative, cheaper than Lyft/Uber and drivers get 100% of the fare.

As a former DC government employee who worked on this kind of thing in the mayors office, the NPS will do whatever the fuck it pleases with or without input from the DC government.

I travel pretty frequently for work and it seems like it's always an early flight. My advice, sked a cab! They're cheaper, they don't cancel at the last minute, and you can use an app to track them, pay in advance, etc... I've used yellow cab - no complaints.
My last 6AM flight, I sked an Uber the night before, and at 5:15AM, Uber had an issue and it was a fucking mess to get to DCA on time.

I don't know pricing, but a lot of my friends have used her for all sorts of things, and we will use her when the time comes: http://funkhousephotography.com/

This all seems like a lot. We didn’t do a newborn photo shoot due to covid safety precautions for unvaccinated newborn. I did a pregnancy photo shoot and paid $20 per pic digital download for a 30 min session (which ended up being 45 min between Spanish Steps & Mitchell Park as two locations). I didn’t need more than 10 pics of me with a belly.

I think it's the same to the employee, whether wages or tip income would be taxed as ordinary income. Not positive. If there are cash tips that aren't reported though of course it's probably 0% except for that one honest person. Who uses cash these days though?

Eh, maybe. Federal agencies don’t really have to listen to what she wants. But they want the same thing, some federal agencies are okay with WFH permanent but a lot aren’t, including mine. I love going into the office twice a week to be on teams calls.

doesn't help that Mayor Bowser does not want contractors WFH.

True. I’m guessing not a lot of other people are going to be dropping bikes that early at dca. The downtown ones, mid afternoon though, I’ve had so many times where there were plenty of spots open that were full by the time I got there.

The feds understand agile just fine, what they don’t understand is how to pay people semi-competitive wages and allow them WFH

I like how the government was like "hey look at all this talent we can now get!" and everyone laid off looks at the salary goes "lol absolutely not"

Ha, right, that’d be a disaster.
I use it a lot and yeah that can happen, but you can mitigate the risk by checking for empty docks at your destination before you set out.

Do you see the federal government getting more competitive in their pay scales soon?
