The DC leaf collection comes through before the truck with leaf blowers and moves everything from the sidewalk/ curb into the street for the truck to pick up. They also have never in 15 years shown up on my street within the date range given on the flier you may have received from DPW. You can bag up your leaves yourself if they bother you but if you did in fact miss the collection the leaves you rake into the tree box aren’t likely to stay there until the truck rolls around again in January or so.

Not to distract from the main issue here but anyone else catch that the article stated his co-workers tracked his phone?! I’d really prefer my coworkers not know how to track me by my phone.

Hi! Fellow LA transplant with full sleeve here. I’ve been side eyed a fair amount (in the non profit world) and had one boss who said I had to wear long sleeves despite being non-public facing and basically in a supply closet doing data entry all day. No one else had to wear long sleeves but she did say all women had to wear pantyhose. Yeah that was bad and she wanted all women to suffer apparently “the way she did”. I generally approach with them covered and go from there. DC is definitely more “conservative” in some groups about those things and other people just don’t care, so I’d say it’s a crapshoot for ya. Just beware of August and it’s misery if you end up with a job where you need to cover them.
