Dear XRdsRev,
Do you work for, or are you a federal contractor?
Or are you in one of those "temporary" jobs that don't come with benefits?

I am in a "temporary" job 42+ hours per week, 52 weeks a year. My position is expected to last for 7-8 years. No health care, no vacation, no pension, no sick days...nothing.
That having been said. Seriously, I am proud to be working for the agency I am employed with. I am proud of my job and the work we are doing for the country.
Technically I am an intermittant Federal employee but I am one of those who fall into the position of working a regular full time position while being officially categorized as intermittant.
Not getting paid benefits is something I understand, I knew that when I signed on. Not being able to buy into the Federal plan with my own money is something that really stinks though.
Can someone explain if this applies to gov't employees plans as well? Or are Congressional and other federal plans exempt?
