  • Anyone else (possibly) getting a mandatory vacation come Tuesday?

    Because I'm a contractor, I can use my vacation time during the shutdown. I've got 3 weeks saved up, but I'd rather not have to use it because my government played chicken with itself and lost.

    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.

      You guys are being silly. They'll make some deal at the 11th hour to kick the can down the road a few months. They always do.

        Yeah, probably. But I do like being reminded that I'm an insignificant cog in a vast machine that can be turned on and off.

          Depends on the tea-party House members. They come up for re-election next year (their primaries are in the spring) and promised they'd vote to defund Obamacare.

            They've already dropped the defund strategy. House Republicans demand Obamacare delay in debt limit hike

                    But that's for the debt limit, not for approving the 2013-14 budget.

                        Orange is the New Black blew me away (I expected it to be like the later seasons of Weeds). Or if you want to see a crazy documentary, check out The Imposter.
