Golly. An unpaid vacation. That bites.
So how are you doing, otherwise?
Pretty good, actually, other than being completely wiped out from the last few days at work.
I was the lucky soul in charge of planning and executing the shutdown for our field office. I was trying to walk out the door yesterday after my maximum four hour stay for shutdown and the questions were still coming in. I had to walk away with my phone ringing and my email beeping, and I was forbidden to touch either one once my furlough time kicked in. Maddening.
We have exactly three people in our 30-person office who were deemed “exempt”. All three are managers and have absolutely no idea how the day-to-day stuff gets done. Fortunately there won’t be much of it, since everybody who creates day-to-day stuff is sitting at home.
