friday random ten – “essential, for the moment” edition
11 Oct
Even though the Government is still shut down, I went back to work on Monday, as I’d been, thanks to a broad interpretation of the Pay Our Military Act, determined “essential”, at least until someone makes another decision that I’m not. Who knows if I’m going to get paid for it any time soon, though.
As we used to say in the systems modernization office, “Embrace Ambiguity!”
But, I’ve gotten a full week in, with my compressed work schedule, and, kids out the door for school, I am in the midst of paying my bills with my fractional pay check, though decent planning has left me with enough to get by and then some.
No plans for much of the rest of the day. Long weekend coming, too. I can live with that.
