Same thing with DOE -- it's up, but not being updated. Also, husband is taking the customs broker exam on Monday, and some of the websites he'd be using for reference aren't available.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

A friend works for a NASA thing through CalTech, and although she is still working/getting paid, she was told not to update their project's facebook page, because it's part of the shutdown. Even though that's part of her job. Bizarreness!

I'm terrified of being furloughed. And I have savings and family that could help. But the idea of losing my only independent source of income? Panic-inducing, even with these cushions.
For those without those resources? Gah.

I want to strangle the people who are saying, "See, the government is shut down, and everything's fine. We don't need all that government."
I have a friend who's an intelligence analyst and is working without pay trying to do his work and the work of the people he supervises. His job: keeping track of parts of the Russian navy, which inconsiderately did not shut down.

Yeah, I hate the bullshit dissing of federal workers as bloat. Uh huh, you want your pretty things?

Wow, -t is good at this game.
The shutdown infuriates me, but even more it summons despair. So many thing about this country are going to shit, and it just gets worse every day. And even trying to figure out how to stop it or fix it is beyond me, which is how I imagine a lot of people feel about it. I used to be more conservative than I am now, that's for sure. The blatant lack of humanity on the part of the Republicans is just obscene.

I got one of those rabbit-style corkscrews in a gift exchange, and it works amazingly better that traditional corkscrews.
