I think the same thing but my wife works for the DoD and where she works they were out of power this morning. She is telecommuting and our power down here has been stable so she is getting most of her work done rather than sitting around doing nothing up there.
Don't get me wrong as I have a very low opinion of a vast majority of Government employees as I have worked with them in one way or another since I was 18 years old. I figure that at least 80% do little to no work and just collect a paycheck from the taxpayers. I never had a high opinion of them then when I was stationed in the DC area my opinion fell even further and I have been upset about them ever since. Here in DC the pay grades are so inflated that it makes me sick. A standard secretary here in DC is a GS-9 whereas out in the field they are GS-3s or 4s.
No shade on your wife intended.
Sure, a few buildings are going to go out here and there, but I haven’t heard that DC’s power is shut down over wide areas.
I’m on Cape Cod, and its raining and blowing, but it wouldn’t affect most people who are indoors. I think it’s at least as bad here as in DC. The storm is intensifying to our south, and will take its sweet time going by.
