As of midnight, I guess go in on Monday sign something, then head to woods and start trapping and bunny killing..
Yeah it ain't the first rodeo for me on the circuit. Its just hateful trying to get operational again after the stoppage. Some of us would probably do the job for free, but they told us they would fire us for even being on the property, due to union rules.Since you said midnight, I assume you're a federal employee. If that's true, it sucks the politicians can't get their act together. Do you know if once they do get a budget, you'll get paid for the time you missed? Last time there was a federal shutdown, I had friends at EPA that got their back pay after everything was settled.
Sorry to hear about this for you.
I remember being a junior enlisted man in the Navy back in the 1980's when they shut down the government then. Sure, we eventually got our backpay, but missing two paydays was tough for those of us with young families living paycheck-to-paycheck and having very little financial reserves to fall back on.
But like I said in another thread, there's no pain for Congress: they keep getting paid no matter what.........
That's what infuriates me the most. They shut the government down for political reasons only, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO GET PAID! How can that be acceptable to anyone, regardless of political party!!!!!!!!
Yet the same people get voted in time after time
For those calling for term limits we have them every few years they are called elections. Obviously the majority of the population in each district is happy with what their rep is doing or they would not be there. As far as pay I think being in congress should be an honor not a job. Give them a tax credit and spending money but no where near what they make and who gets lifetime retirement for 2 years service that’s ridiculous.
Unfortunately, happy and ignorant are synonymous with many, if not most, voters.
Shutdown is over.
I just KNOW there is going to be some more crap over this come Feb. 8. How do I know? I'm supposed to fly to a training in Murfreesboro TN on Feb. 4. I'm supposed to fly home on Feb. 9. Yup! Probably another shutdown during he middle of my trip and screw up my flight plans home. IDIOTS!!!
