Reply to comment by CCIRMAJOR26 in My “luxury” apartment buildings trash compactor is next to our apartment, wakes me up all hours of the night, and the building refuses to do anything. What should I do? by CCIRMAJOR26
>CCIRMAJOR26
I live in the building too, and we almost rented on your floor when we moved in 5+ years ago. Thankfully we didn't, it seems like all the issues you hear about are 4th floor and lower. I'm sorry this is happening to you.
One of our fellow tenants in the building works in the DC office of the tenant advocate, I don't know their name but I did see them in the last week. They mentioned offhand sometime last year how our building, relatively speaking, has few complaints. But I'm sure that doesn't provide any solace when the trash compactor starts up at 1am. Anyways, you should definitely reach out to them. They'll let you know legally where you stand.

Well that just sounds awesome. Going to have to check it out. Did you end up picking from any of the recommendations?

Is it like a tanning booth? That's the only thing I could think of to compare it to. Also why not go to a tanning booth, don't those bulbs also give off infrared wavelengths?

My partner and I went to Cafe Berlin last year because they offer GOOSE! Literally the best Christmas dinner I've ever had that wasn't home cooking. We will be doing it again this year.

Depending on the department you’re applying to, end of year is fundraising season and those folks probably don’t have time to hire and run their campaigns. With Ukraine I know AIUSA was busy, perhaps give them a look: https://www.amnestyusa.org/careers/ and with your history I would check out NORML too https://norml.org/norml-internships/

Hey u/Alert-Glove-4852 I work in the industry and this is going to be highly dependent on what type of job you're looking for in the non-profit space. Generally speaking though I can point you in a few directions.
- Sign up for the Progressive Exchange listserv, there's been 100 job postings since late October ( https://cln.sh/DSNvZJ ): https://www.progressiveexchange.org/welcome.htm
- Go browser Idealist: https://www.idealist.org/en
- And it's expensive and it's in Denver, but the Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC) just opened up registration this week and it's a massive networking event: https://www.nten.org/gather/ntc

I live at Capitol View on 14th St, and the floors and walls are thicc. As you said, nothing is 100% soundproof, but both my partner and I work from home and we've been grateful for how peaceful it can be here.
I'd look at units towards the south end of the building, where you'll have fewer neighbors and foot traffic. The building also has plenty of community space and amenities, is above a grocery store, and is a block from the park. If you visit, let me know, and we can show you around the building, plus our studio if you would like, and answer any questions.
The unit I'm about to link will have a view you'll shit yourself over. I'm not joking; one of the best in the city. We're two floors down and south facing too, and it's one of the reasons we've stayed here for going on 7 years now. The unit I'm linking is a studio, I find they have more usable space than some of the one bedrooms. Plus I think it will have a Juliet balcony so you can open it up fully and get plenty of fresh air which is such a plus when it's nice out or you burn dinner.
P.S. Love your username

Had two active dogs and lived many places in the city, also love our green spaces, I'd suggesting looking for places around:
- Meridian Hill park (it's large as far as parks go, and this is the most dog friendly area I've ever lived in)
- Rock Creek park (it's massive so prioritize being near an entrance or other landmark within it)

Alternative possibility, some trainees for three letter agencies / military programs have to go out and track a random person for a number of hours and/or collect info on them. Could have been malicious, that would be my guess, but also could have also been three guys who failed their assignment.

I just posted about what it means to me, it certainly wasn't deep when I moved here 10 years ago but that changed over time; kind of like how family traditions and your relation to them change as you age.
