So I'm going to Washington, D.C. tonight for an interview tomorrow.
Rather inconveniently, there is something else of some modest import going on in Washington, D.C. tomorrow...
This is has the potential to seriously suck.

Oh dear. Talk about bad timing.
Are you going anywhere near downtown DC? If not, then you might be ok.

ohhh...I don't envy you. If you aren't staying in a hotel within walking distance, make sure to take plenty of extra time getting to your interview. All sorts of roads in the area are supposed to be shut down.

And ice there will be...It's snowing majorly in DC right now, and the inauguration events are being very poorly attended because of it.
Maybe there's hope for you yet, Lightning.

On the contrary, Flashy Firey one. I never made it. Mechanical failure on the aircraft. I'm still in Michigan and the interview's canceled.
Program wasn't that important to me, anyway.
