This whole deal sucks.
My wife and I are both govt employees but she's with the FBI so she gets to work through the shutdown. I work for the Patent Office, and even though the Office is self-funded like the Post Office, we are still affected by this. So far, we are told that the Patent Office has enough funds to operate normally for 6 days after shutdown. Once that's up, I guess I'll be doing some spring cleaning in the garage. |

It's a real PITA, but I think it'll get resloved sooner than the last one.
OP: why not throw a govt shutdown party? If we do it for hurricanes...

Military is effected too, and some of the junior enlisted military are living paycheck to paycheck.
the good news is that we will get paid up till 8 April, and some financial institutions such as Navy Fed, Marine Corps Fed will front the paycheck on 15 April. Regardless, if the Govt shuts down tonight, we are expected to work without pay until it resolves.

I actually got pulled over the other night in Falls Church for NO REASON... police said I wasn't maintaining a steady speed. 29 is littered with pot holes and the speed limit was 40... the hell was I supposed to do. But after he pulled me over for no reason, he just gave me a front plate ticket. I haven't ran a front plate.... ever, and this year has been absolutely awful.

So does the government, but it can "afford" to continue to borrow without apparent thought or consequence (yet).
