Chantilly, VA (USA)

[what a whirlwind day! - I had planned to spend it out at our company headquarters in Chantilly, but things changed quickly and I ended up in the City by the end of the work day - started out early (Fairfax County Parkway to I-66 and VA-28) - arrived in time (0800) to meet up with some folks I am working on a research project with (remotely, up to now) - spent a few hours with them and then joined the new hire course (in progress) - I had intended to meet up with our new employee (Allison) - before the class was done, I had a nice talk with my friend, Kim - at noon, I got a call from Chris that I needed to hurry Allison to the city to take care of some onboarding tasks that hadn't (for some reason) gotten finished - we split up to get our cars to the closest Metro lots to our houses - one thing worked out: timing was perfect (she ended up on the same Yellow Line train as me, with some text coordinatin) - we got our admin exercise done within an hour or so - got her to the office building and introduced her to a few co-workers, strategizing the next few days - by the end of the day, I forgot where I had been... - got home late this evening]
