Not Feeling It

So the Government has shut down.  Now what?  As some of you know I work for the G'mint.  I'm considered essential and what this means is if the budget thing isn't settled by the next pay period I'm working for an IOU from Uncle Sam.  That's reassuring.  I'm also not allowed to take leave which is convenient since we were leaving for Ohio this Saturday (or I should say we were leaving for Ohio).  Every day in every way I can't believe people want more government involvement in their lives.  And to the people that voted for Obama again, I would like to say thanks.
