I have some friends that work for Fed letter agencies and they are still going to work without pay. I do feel bad for them, but they understand completely.
We did offer to have them over for dinner at least twice/week to help them cut some expenses for food and entertainment.

Based on BHO's golfing schedule, I'm beginning to think this might be a long one.
Good news? Additional deficit reduction.

This is interesting since in our furlough letter it stated that working during the furlough, either in the office, at home, or at the coffee shop, will be reason for adverse action or dismissal. And it will get your supervisor a letter of reprimand since he obviously didn't explain the rules well enough. We were required to leave laptops and blackberries at work.

Different agency, different rules perhaps?

Shouldn't be since the directive comes from the Office of Personnel Manager and Federal law. I'm just wondering if they are "essential personnel". Those are working but not getting paid *until* the furlough is lifted, then they'll collect all the pay due.

Course, if the congress votes to pay salaries for those furloughed this kinda screws them.
