No shutdown, but good grief...
I'm a fed and my agency is on the chopping block...I woke up at 2:30 am SO anxious about it, went to my laptop to read the news, and then couldn't fall back to sleep after feeding DS until like 4:30 am. Nothing like waiting until the last possible moment. And this is just one of many scenarios to come. How the heck am I going to last the summer? I guess I didn't realize how bothered I was by this.
I'm still anxious because I have no idea if my agency was part of the 33 billion cuts last night or what. We know we were up for a decrease (like everyone else) but in some variations of the budget we were zeroed out completely.
PS - I had to stay home with a sick kid on Friday and I am SO glad I wasn't in the office because I think my anxiety would have been worse.
Re: No shutdown, but good grief...
Fingers crossed your agency wasn't zeroed out!! I couldn't even imagine. I was out of town on Friday so I wasn't around for any of the potential shutdown drama but was reading emails on my work BB while on the train to NYC. It was crazy.
I guess I feel fortunate that my agency is one that Congress actually tries/wants to give more money to most of the time. Now just to see what we actually will have tomorrow.
