Sorry to go on a bit of a rant but man this week is dead. So…I like many others have signed up for DC Alerts to deal with severe weather, crime, terrorism (God forbid) and I’ve been noticing that they are seriously abusing the use of “Breaking News”. For example just yesterday they sent one out saying:
“Breaking News from Alert DC: EAST COAST SNOWSTORM NARROWLY MISSES THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA – RESIDENTS ARE REMINDED TO BE PREPARED”

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.
