'Life of the Party'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Is this what living in DC is like??
Pretty much. That's why people say they know not only the best route to take from Point A to Point B based on time of day/rush hour status, but also time of year (Cherry Blossom Festival/# of tourists?) and whether or not the President/diplomats/various other time-wasting annoying convoys of limos and police cars and helicopters are going to be in town!
(Of course Xpost with Toddson!)
The ones I'm looking at don't start until June either. But I think amych's has already been producing.
eta: Which I realize now is probably what Jessica was talking about. The 26 week one I'm looking at goes until the end of December which I think is a bit odd, but cool.
Hi! Interview went well -- it was with the CTO for a small shop that makes corporate websites, and they're looking for a web developer/designer with pretty much the expertise that I have.
If they call me back, they'll give me a "test" where I spend a day at their office coding a faux project, so to show off my skills & problem solving. I said, quite honestly, that I'd like to work at a place where my fellow developers had passed a test like that.
(Programmers who interview better than they program are a real problem when nontechnical people do the interviewing, they tend to hire the glibbest.)
Poop, I forgot to go to the Wednesday evening teeny farmer's market, and I'll be in Iowa this weekend.
ita, no, I think it's HIGHLY reasonable to want to know when you'll be in the hospital. Geez. And I hope your boss' statement comes true!
DC travel also depends on: is Congress in session, did the Red Line break down again, what's happening at the Pentagon today, and is it Tuesday.
And tourists? STAND RIGHT, WALK LEFT!
Fingers crossed, Theo!
You too, ita! And it would be nice to know ahead of time if you'll be in the hospital...
When you're lucky. Add in motorcades, random road closures, protestors, and tourists on most days.
With a side order of transportation delays, random construction springing up over night, equally random building demolitions and streets that go in difference directions, depending on the time of day.
And yet? I LOVE this town!

Ahahaha! I used to make myself nuts with this one, but now just take a breath. Living here pretty much forces you to be zen.
Todd, I can't believe you didn't add the SEGWAY TOURS of doom. Bartleby nearly got taken out by one of them recently. There would have been blood!
I'm trying really hard not to comment on a friend's FB post that it is nigh impossible for there to be 2 Marine One helicopters.
Unless you're Kevin Kline.
They're closing down most of the streets near the stadium which is an area that I will be avoiding all day tomorrow and Saturday.

And is it rush hour, also known as 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. On a good day.
