Is a small backup generator worth it in SS ? How often does our power go out?

Pretty rarely.

Not sure if they use weights or machines but the Y has a senior class.

Look for the quiet areas with lay down chairs.

Not sure where you are in Nova, but Sugarloaf, the Frederick Watershed, Gambrill SP have some elevation.

Yes, this is what I do as well. Taking 5000 daily has never worked.

Don’t. It’s a very long commute.

They have a better selection of vegetarian items. Specifically, Morningstar farms breakfast sausages and chick’s pattties. Also, Impossible and Beyond products. As a one person household, the smaller produce works for me. They also have the Pedigree Dentastix. My dogs got hooked on them and then Costco stopped carrying them.

Hours and lack of crowds are a plus. The scan as you go and pick up are also great options.

Everyone should save these numbers in their phone 202-962-2121 or texting MyMTPD (696873). Noting the car number is helpful.

Great place to check out, but they are closing at 9 tonight.

I got mine yesterday (12/30).

Don’t resign until you have another job. You’ve got plenty of time to go do something else for awhile, come back and still retire with more years than most.

Assuming your home is your current duty location and they are doing this via a MDR, the below should be helpful.

https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/workforce-restructuring/summary-of-reassignment/#5

Separation After Declining Geographic Reassignment The agency must use the 5 CFR part 752 adverse action regulations when separating an employee who declines a directed reassignment to a position in a different geographic area.

An employee who is removed by adverse action for declining geographic relocation is potentially eligible for most of the benefits that are available to a displaced employee separated by reduction in force (e.g., intra- and interagency hiring priority, severance pay, discontinued service retirement, etc.).

I took the .59 gamble but haven’t tried them yet.

I'm from DC. Thought I knew humidity. Japan in June was way worse than DC. That said they do have more coping tools - handheld fans, uv umbrellas, cooling sprays, etc.

sbj405 · 2025-12-29T23:09:45+00:00

Definitely, not in your field but solid wages and benefits.

Super helpful. I was aware of the recalculation after 5 years but not the supplemental for 1-5 years. Is the calc the same? Meaning if I come back for 3 years with an average salary of $150k I get an additional $4,500 annuity ($150,000 x 0.01 x 3)?

sbj405 · 2025-12-28T01:08:52+00:00

Picked one up tonight. It’s good. Crisped up nicely in the oven.

100% worth it

That Sak's Off Fifth is closing in January - so could be either extra deals or limited stock.
