As a federal employee, I won't be able to use leave of any kind - but usually we have been reimbursed for the time we were forced to not work.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
