“Newbie to Inauguration Week — Is this normal?”

newbie

“Dear PoPville,

I’ve lived in DC three years now, so this is my first inauguration as a resident. I’m curious to ask others who have lived here for prior inaugurations:

Is it normal for them to be giving out inauguration tickets like candy? In the past several days, I’ve seen numerous ads for “free tickets” on Facebook, on news sites, etc. not only for the inaugural concert, but the inauguration itself. It seemed strange to me, but I did hear that the turnout is expected to be less than half of what Obama’s 2009 inauguration garnered, so maybe that’s why they’re practically begging people to come?

Secondly, the tickets I was sent after registering say “commemorative ticket only” and do not feature my name, a barcode or any other features that you’d normally have on a ticket you’ve registered for. Is this normal?

Again, I have nothing to compare this to, so I’m curious what others have experienced.”

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.
