Yes, I am being impacted by the government shutdown. I checked my leave and earnings statement last week and it showed me receiving $0.00 as my pay. Kind of sobering to see.
It's fun to read about the politics and the lack of negotiation and the "game" that is being played to prove a very important point, but it's another thing to actually be involved in it.
Please pray that Sue and I stay strong and make good decisions as we go through this. The stress of it is different from the stress we've had before, so it is popping out in different areas of our lives. We're fine for several months, but it's the impact of the continuing stress that I am most concerned about.
