Now if they’d only pass a budget so we could stop going through this stress every week.

Better yet, can I hear on that retirement incentive that extends to age 50 and over, please? (DH, only 52, waits impatiently on pins and needles, drumming her fingers.)

She sang “SEND IN THE CLOWNS”

My father is at the top and was told that if the government shut down, he could enjoy working from home without pay.

No wonder we are in so much trouble. You said it best – ALL are essential….not just the ones at the top.

Today, when the politicians seem to be leaning heavily towards foregoing the shutdown, we get another e-mail addressed to “all staff” informing us that we are NOT essential. I wanted to respond with a message saying “gee, thanks.”
