[Magdalen] New workplace

[Jay Weigel]

S/O works from home, but travels multiple times per month to either the
home office in Richmond or to client locations around the state (or
occasionally next door in Maryland). It works pretty well for him, as he's
a natural introvert but it keeps him from getting "housed up" as we would
say in Tennessee.
