Warning: Washington will remember the ping you sent at 20:00. Federal days start early and end when the Metro does. Friday pings after 16:00 vanish into the weekend. The polite window around Downtown DC is 08:00–18:00 local. Washington still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−5 in January, UTC−4 in July). Save heroics for actual incidents. Daylight is honest here; if it looks like evening, it probably is. On an ordinary weekday in Washington, treat the desk as reachable only in local business hours.
