“Dear PoPville,
So I was at a bar in East Portland the other day, and the bartender asks to check my ID before serving my drink. Fair enough, I think, and proceed to present my District of Columbia license. After taking a glance she hands it back, telling me “technically I’m not supposed to take these — DC’s not a state,” that the OLCC are sticklers for this sort of thing, but that she’ll go ahead and let me slide. I balked and told her “I’m pretty sure that’s not *technically* accurate.” She proceeds to lecture me on the rudeness of questioning her, a knowledgable bartender, and I think came close to asking me to leave but I bit my tongue and apologized.
I went ahead and looked up OLCC regulation on this, which appeared to support her argument.
I went ahead and sent a Tweet to the OLCC who stated that DC licenses, even Canadian and Mexican, were valid IDs for bars in Oregon. I wish they would better educate bartenders on this. Or write better regulations.”

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.
