Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I wonder what will happen with CMS? I know we'll keep on keeping on doing work for them, for sure.

We've got padding built into our budget, and are non-direct so... apparently, we can go for a couple months. Uhg, anyway.

OK, time to lock up the computer. Next time, I'll have children in my care...

My cousin's going to be furloughed. She apparently found out today.

I just got an email from my employer, basically saying we're out of work if the shutdown happens. No surprise there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, you guys.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Between the government shutdown and all the acquisitions lately. A lot of people are going to be out of work. Just when the economy was starting to pick up.

I wonder if that was part of the plan?

Oh, guys, this is such rough news. I'm sorry it's all been so harrowing.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm good if there's a shutdown, but our invoices won't be paid in a timely fashion. Receivables will be a mess, and I'll get yelled at because I won't meet my monthly metrics, but that's nothing in comparison to what friends and work colleagues will be going through.

I'm sorry for anyone who's going to be furloughed.

We'll be fine - it will get to be a pinch if it goes on for more than a couple of weeks, but if it's a day or two it's actually not a big deal, even a little break.
