Furlough fun or not...

[wallishall]

Well, it appears that I may just miss the current set of furlough fun.  They passed the budget last night, not one that many like, but a budget all the same.  It screws over many people and yet may not be as bad as it appears.  It could be better or worse.

Anyway, we'll see, won't we.

Yesterday I told someone "Oh yes, I'll be here. Unless, well, we're not here," which sounded hopelessly confusing.

Given the saunalike nature of my house, I was waking up periodically anyway last night, so I kept checking the news, which didn't tell me much until about 6:40 this morning.

Yeah, they didn't call till 6:58 to say, "Come on in, we're open for business!!!"

I had a number to call that said no one should come in unless they call the number and got something different. I saw the notice on the ADOA website first, figured I'd go in anyway, then called the number. The message had been reset three minutes before I called.

By that time with all the lack of sleep, I sort of hope they'd temporarily shut things down a day, because even if they got stuff settled mid-day, we wouldn't be out that much. I have two hours' furlough a week as it is.
