Welcome to the government shutdown

Oct 01, 2013 22:15

Ah, yes.  Here we are.  Government shutdown.  As of about noon today, I do not work.  And I don't know when I start to work again.  Congress has lived down to its potential and ridiculousness has set in.  We will get paid for 6 days of work next Friday, since we haven't been paid yet for 6 days in Sept., but who knows how much the next check will be.  Or when.  I am thankful that I am not a single parent relying on that paycheck, and that my husband works for a private company, so he will continue to get paid.  I will try to find some things to do around the house that don't cost extra money, and maybe I'll get a bit more exercise than I usually do.  While I twiddle my thumbs and wait.  Good grief.  Who are those people who think this is a good idea?  Ugh.
