So the Government shut down,
 
But I still have a job that I "get" to come to everyday.
I'll even get paid... sometime... eventually... :gofurslf:

I think I'd rather be like the Federal Technicians that are actually unemployed, but are able to go find other work.
It's harvest time, lots of farmers looking for help right now...

I am still working but my part of the federal govt isn't part of the national budget, our ratepayers take care of us.

I'm still working, just not sure when I'll get another paycheck. That becomes the problem if this becomes drug out.

Gotta love partisan politics.

I'm in the same boat, still working, but who knows when we will next be paid. Grateful I still have orders, at least, it could have gone the other way since I'm on ADOS.

I'm working because I've been designated as excepted/essential. I'm limited on the work I can do, and have no idea when I'll get paid, although I'm sure to get it eventually. Those who were furloughed might get paid for the time they've been furloughed, but they won't know for sure until Congress passes a bill saying that they will get their back pay. I'm about ready to get out for good...! Tired of no pay-raises or bonuses for three years, sequestration, and now furloughs for who knows how long.

I was furloughed over the summer because of the sequestrations stuff but here were not affected by the shut down unless it drags on for months and we run out of working capital. I have some friends who work for NOAA fisheries and theyve been furloughed. I doubt anybodys getting back pay this time.

I'll just leave this here

So you ARE still around.

Still working? I got the impression that you were looking at retirement a couple of years back.

They did pass something that all military are considered essential and will continue to get paid like normal.
