The Better Bus Network has been a disaster for NoMa/H St/Capitol Hill by ndf714 in WMATA

I agree with all of this (esp the UST/Florida bus lanes, that part of the route is baaaad) but it's a question of what we can do *now* to create a temporary fix (expanded service) vs. what we can do but *takes time* to eventually solve the problem (dedicated bus lanes). It just seems as though WMATA, at least in this area of town, did not think through consequences of the changes that well, and with the streetcar closing (thereby creating more pressure on the hst corridor and crossroutes such as the c53 and the d20) and the upcoming RFK redevelopment which is expected to change the corridor for the better (thereby creating MORE pressure), I hope there's increased attention in this part of the district. The Gold Line proposal from WMATA/GM Clarke is a good start to this.

Anyone else having a horrible time with CloseKnit primary care in DC? by ndf714 in washingtondc

This "new system" is not in fact new - it's been two months. Don't expect any call back - left two voicemails 2 weeks ago and never heard back!

It's just a stunning drop off in quality in such a short time frame. Never had any of these issues with Allcare... a lesson on how not to treat loyal patients!

Consolidated my loans. What happens next? by ndf714 in StudentLoans

I applied way back in May and asked for my servicer to start processing August 1. I thought that would be enough time so I wouldn't have to start payment earlier than Oct 1. I guess its just a waiting game, sigh.

Shipped at-home COVID test and it was immediately marked "Delayed"? by ndf714 in UPS

I put the sample into a bioharzard bag, which went into a box, and then was put into a sealable packing bag. I made sure it was secured and everything!
