The Prime Rib. Ask for a table by the piano. He should get the prime rib. Obv.

You can order the Lobster Santiago. It's a sensational take on a Lobster thermidor.

The Irish coffee is off menu, and great for dessert.

Nm you are a vegetarian, sorry just saw that. In that case I recco Marcels.

Just making sure you tried them with ski boots on which are massive. Combined with the height of the binding, I've never seen ski pants touch the snow or the skis.

The park rat kids you see and pros in movies often wear oversized pants, it's never a problem.

Anyways as far as tailors the one I liked in crystal city closed. Kings park tailors in VA is great, but I'm talking about men's suiting.

Yikes man, forcing your employees to take PTO is not great. I'd have my folks do training on overhead or g&a in this circumstance. I'd be unhappy about that.

You know the funny thing about all of this is that the govt doesn't get unspent money back. Once the money is sent over to the KO, and if it's not executed during the contract year the customer agency doesn't get to use that money for anything else. It goes back to the treasury.

Even if we're talking about 100 contractors, 2 hours of unspent labor is at most maybe $30k. This is budget dust to most any agency, however you are doing material damage to the personal finances of your contractors.

Some organizations are dicks. I have folks who had literally no accomodations during COVID from the beginning pre-vax. Nothing. Just keep coming in... while the govt all changed to telework. Irresponsible disregard for health and safety

I believe it. I've never heard of that applying during a delay though.

For today's 2 hour delay are you guys not authorized to bill for the 2 hours?

If not are you authorized to bill direct to contract, are you going to bill to another charge line g&a or ovr?

...and if you dont mind me asking, are you not getting paid?

This is just delayed start which is essentially optional. I have never heard of a delayed start impacting contractor pay or invoicing.

If it were a full closure, on a T&M basis or a Cost+ in a very strict contract where the govt is not approving work except on site then the government would not pay the firm for those hours. Typically however the contractor would try to justify work offsite when the govt is closed, perhaps doing planning or training.

This generally would never apply on a firm fixed price basis, which is probably around half of the projects these days.

That said for most any white color work t&m, cost+, or ffp even when the govt closes unexpectedly they would have their employees bill to overhead or g&a and doing company training or other corporate function work. They would be very unlikely to not pay their employees as most of the time people are salaried anyways.

Now if you were an hourly employee, and your company was annoyingly tough on the bottom line. I could see the employee not getting paid during a closure. I have never personally seen that happen, but I dont do any facilities work (cleaning, landscaping etc.)

Some of the giant buildings north of Van Ness metro on Conn.

The brandywine is deathly quiet.

Hmm I had not considered that. Thanks!

The federal govt does not own any companies. Many companies however are contractors to the US Govt.

Since I assume you are a SA citizen most likely this is not a military or intelligence position, which sometimes are subject to drug testing. In my experience for contractors rarely does any drug testing occur even for classified positions. If it happens at all it will be at the very beginning. The US government for contractors typically requires a "drug free" workplace which does not mandate testing.

As others have noted you simply should ask HR what the Drug Testing policy is. I would probably ask the HR person and not the hiring manager (the person you'll actually work for).

Generally speaking very few white collar jobs require random ongoing drug testing unless you work in the medical industry or a blue collar job where you operate heavy equipment or construction.

If you think about it, piss testing is most likely only catch marijuana anyways. Most companies can terminate you at will for performance so what's even the point.

Massive and all brand new low rise Whole food condo developments. The actual amount of history and culture in DC pales in comparison to Philly.

DC was a swamp when Philadelphia was the Nations Capitol. You will struggle to find a person whose family has been in this city more than one generation.

Well then. I find Persian, Pakistani, Afghani and Indian food to be pretty much the same.

Do you have a good recommendation for a South/Central Asian restaurant?

Agree, however Echostage is not in a great location for a single woman to be walking around at 3AM.

The immediate vicinity has a (classy) strip club, gas station and questionable motel. The surrounding area is somewhat industrial bordered by low density residential which is not particularly high income.

I wouldnt walk .5 mile in that hood to save $20 personally. Not worth it. It's not dupont circle.

Ok European man.

I'm looking for a European place for dinner this Friday.

Preferably German, Italian, French, Spanish, Scandinavian, Slavic, or Greek cuisine anywhere from Europe, they are all so similar I lump them together.

Any reccos?

Sarcasm, and yes I am saying your dining acumen is basic as fuck.

Edit: Cheesecake Factory. It's the punchline.

Lol you could just aim ultrasonic noise at full blast at the backyard so the dog refuses to go outside.
