Came back today and discovered the word "furlough" was used in a meeting on Thursday.
No details offered. No timeline. No word whether this means work without pay or if we're to use our holiday and personal leave to make up for what the government hasn't appropriated.
Don't know what to think except if the expectation is the latter while working, I'm just going to take the time off. I don't feel like I need to burn through vacation and holiday time because the government can't seem to find it's butt with both hands this time around. Maybe if they reimburse. But I'm not holding my breath. We have a Congress and a president who seem content to watch the world burn.
Maybe they will see some burning.
So we wait, I guess. I have little hope any compromise will be found because those in charge are still getting paid and thus have no incentive to make progress. They only seem to be listening to the constituent voices who support them, which shouldn't shock me, I guess, but a guy can dream. The blame game is all they're interested in.
