Dear PoP – Planned Power Outage for U Street, NW?

“Dear PoP,

Have you heard anything about this? I’d hope that Pepco would give a bit more notice than this.

Excerpt:

We have literally just received notification from our property manager that Pepco is going to turn off the power in the area from 11:45 p.m. tonight until 8:00 a.m. tomorrow (although they said it could be restored as early as 6:00 a.m.) Pepco is disrupting service because they are reconfiguring the power grid for the U Street area — there is much higher usage than in the past and shifting users from one power grid to another should help to mitigate this situation.”

Has anyone else received word about this? I didn’t see anything on their Web site. Did they say the street boundaries that will be affected?

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
