Who Is Not Going To Work Today?
 

Wooohoooo Governments shutdown, anarchyyyyyyyy!! :paddle: :party0030:

Jk lol, anyone here affected by it?

If you have no idea what I'm talking about turn on CNN. Our congress fucked up lol.

:popcorn:

I'm at work, but none of our government buddies are here to approve/authorize our work.

So... really it's just a waste of time.

I was told not to come in, I could care less.

See that would annoy me, why not just tell everyone to take the day off if no work can be done anyway? Seems stupid to me.

Drink some beer and grill some meat. Celebrate the shutdown of the government the american way with 0 fucks given.

Roger that LOL. :party0030:

What a coincidence, I'm leaving the country tomorrow. Have fun everyone :) lol

I leave for an 8 day cruise on Saturday lol. Until then Beer and Bbq's :drool:

If I don't come in to work, I don't get paid. Since I'm not a government employee, I still have other stuff to work on.

Damn so youre not going back to work until the governments are back? If so good luck haha.

Really? How much less could you care? ;)

I couldnt care less, im unemployed. But! Have to do dentist stuffs.



And ill be honest, i thought at first this was gonna be about skipping work for GTAO. lol

I'm not a government employee so I wouldn't know for sure, but I thought I read that the time off will be unpaid? Isn't this a bad thing for those that are told to stay home?

Yuuup, it's a big F U to all the people who rely on that paycheck to put food on the table. Glad we elected people concerned about "the economy" so they could stop the single largest employer in the country from writing paychecks.

It's all theoretical though, they don't have that much power, the world keeps turning and 90% of the population continues on as if nothing is different.

Edit: although they could use vacation time to keep the paycheck coming in theory, not sure on the details, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

don't all gov't workers have 300 days of vacation each year anyways?

AND they're all on food stamps :mad0260:

Was informed by my group commander that they have found enough money to keep us 300 day vacation food stamp using Civilians employed through October 7th.

Can I haz food stamps and 300 vacations? I like free shit as much as the other guy.

Move to Europe, those commie bastards.

They call it "the dole"

*But seriously, national healthcare and MANDATORY five weeks vacation in France ain't a bad deal... Plus holidays of course. Downside is try to get something done in August, whole country is basically in power saving mode.

I'm a federal employee but was in limbo all day... Wasn't allowed to work or go home. Supposedly we've been deemed essential, but it's all a bunch of crap.

Btw I wish I got 300 days of a year. I get more like 19 and I don't get food stamps...

woosh

In any case, hope it all gets sorted out soon, best of luck.

Thanks!

I just feel bad for my peers with families and more financial obligations. Luckily I can skate by for a while if need be.

Yea it sucks for those that actually cant work and need to because they have responsibilities.

Its ok though, congress is still getting paid and thats all that matters anyway! :bonk:

Well I had to go to work today, turns out we are not affected by these shennnigans.

I wonder how long this will last. I'm in private sector, so it's not affecting my income.
It's slow time for us... enjoying web surfing and getting paid!! :)

Actually all leave is cancelled for civilian employees. If you're furloughed you can't use leave to make up for the lost pay. However last time this happened in the 90's all those people who sat at home for 21 days ended up getting back pay anyway once the budget finally passed.

Some of us had to sit around all day to find out at the end that we're somehow "exempted" from the shutdown (eventhough our position description says not mission essential WTF) and would be the lucky few who get to come to work for free while our peers get a mini vacation (which more than likely they'll get back paid for).

Passed out at 2:am. At work by 9. No day off for me.

you must not be a politician then :lol:

So they are not paying my g.i. bill so i cant start my second semester classes. Thanks...... now i have to wait till the end of next year to enroll in the classes i need.

That's messed up... Is there anyway you can work something out with the school? Usually they would be able to defer payment till the end of the semester. I doubt this shutdown will last too long, because if it does some of these politicians might not be politicians much longer.

That's for sure!

I'm thinking it'll be close to the 17th before it's over. Unless they allow piecemeal bills to pass then I think it maybe longer (just my opinion) It also doesn't help that there was a shooting in dc to help take pressure off of congress...

Good news is that I was able to change my time card from furlough to regular pay. Still not allowed to use leave though. So maybe there is some unreported progress being made. Idk...

No. 10 holidays per OPM. Usually around 20 days of PTO. So a total of 6 weeks.

I contract...so I've already lost the hours for this bullshit and I wont get them back. Meanwhile, the feds will get backpay.

I didn't work today, they cut our days to 3 each week and I'm all good with this

O yeah I work for the county Laboratory

Sorry to hear guys, sucks when people fuck with your money and you can't do much about it.

Hope you get back to work soon.

wut

Boner fucked up. He listened to the tea bagging crazies who wanna trash the Constitution while thinking they're saving it. Low IQ dirtbags are gonna end us all. Wouldn't know anything but the ammendment on guns, and they think it's in the bible. The tea baggers should be charged with treason.
