Potential Government Shut Down

[Daseal]

This shutdown is a little scary, especially if it becomes a prolonged thing (which I doubt.) While the govies typically get retroactive pay from the time missed, their contractor counterparts do not get that pay. Luckily it looks as if I'll be deemed 'essential personnel' but some of my fellow contractors won't be so lucky.

I had gone as far as to line up some part time work if the stoppage went over a week. Mainly just to keep me from getting bored at home...
