Not yet, but who knows, this may change. They cancelled TA again though. A lot of services are shut down and it is p dumb.

Re: post itt if you've been furloughed due to govt shutdown
A friend of mine is furloughed as well and enjoys making jokes about how he makes more from unemployment than I do from a 45 hour week. I just make jokes about him being non-essential. We're good people.

Re: post itt if you've been furloughed due to govt shutdown
As a contractor for NASA, I am directly affected by the shutdown. But while civil servants *had* to stop work, the situation is a bit different for contractors, and a lot depends on the specific contracts. In certain cases, contractors are permitted to continue working even though the federal government is shut down. In my case, I am permitted to continue working, but I have to do so off-site (which isn't a problem). But I know a bunch of civil servants who are currently forced to stay home without pay, and I suspect a bunch of contractors are in the same boat even if I personally am not.

Re: post itt if you've been furloughed due to govt shutdown

Re: post itt if you've been furloughed due to govt shutdown
I'm kinda worried that my GI bill benefits will be delayed from this, unless that falls under the category of "military pay".
