Soldiers are essential, but won't get paid until the shutdown is over. Since this Friday is the halfway point in the pay period, they'll get a paycheck for one week instead of two.

can anyone tell me off the top of their head what the title font on the page is?
Depends on the fonts you have installed on your machine, but:

And yet, even with the Fubar, Medicare works better than most private insurance. Government contracting with all of its screwups manages to get roads built. Having done contract programming in both the private and public sector, I would say both are fubared in their own way.
It looks pretty good in Ariel, bold, on the graphic I'm making. Thanks. (I did know it was a sans-serif font!! I can learn from you people!)
Anyone know when the next onerous task day is?

Yeah. When I was in consulting, the worst jobs were always the ones with private companies involved, because they didn't understand the process and had utterly ridiculous deadlines.

I just sifted through the papers in my folder, and somehow I shoved a fanart draft in there by mistake when I packed this morning.
It could have been worse. There could have been more nudity, and I could have discovered it with other people around. But...still. I need to be carefuller.

Oh man, I'd really like to see your supervisor's face on spotting that shot of Superman pushing Batman's head down.
