Heads Up if You’re Flying this Weekend

From WMATA:

“Metro is reminding customers of a four-day capital improvement project, starting today, November 9 through Monday, November 12 (Veterans Day observed) on the Yellow and Blue lines in Virginia. Buses will replace trains between Braddock Rd and Pentagon City as crews work on the aerial structure at Reagan National Airport Station, including replacing switches and installing new concrete grout pads that support the rails. Two stations, National Airport and Crystal City stations, will be closed.

The project, originally announced in February, was rescheduled for the Veterans Day weekend to minimize the impact to customers, as Monday is a federal holiday.

On Friday and Monday, Blue and Yellow line customers may experience crowding due to less frequent service and should allow additional travel time. Rush Hour Promise will not be in effect for trips on the Yellow and Blue lines on Friday, November 9, but will remain in effect for customers on other lines.

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.
