Excuse me for not opening a web site from a poster that I don't
recognise, even if it *looks* as though it might be photo-related.


My New Year's Day photo that sums up my feelings regarding the

Will you still get paid?!!!

Federal employees require Congress to pass an act to do so.
Contractors are in a much more complicated and varied situation.
Historically Congress has voted for back pay for federal employees.
Given they are forbidden from working without pay or volunteering this
in the end is just a big waste of the taxpayers money.
