That's just communist

That's one of the "perks" of working for the government! That's how they save money...don't get me started on other ways they NEED to be saving money!

We have to have all of our furlough hours completed by the end of June...so that we can start all over again in July!! (13 unpaid days....) Ah well, I'm sorta used to it by now. And people always say "Well at least you get time off..." That's NOT the point... I have WEEKS of vacation that I could use if I wanted time off! Furlough "time off" is not paid

There's my gripe for the day. I promise I'm done now. LOLA lot of that going on over here K9. Days being cut back, salaries cut back, pensions cut back and now the health insurance companies aren't paying the pharmacies the money they owe them and they won't give us fill our prescriptions under our health plan - we have to pay for the medication out of our pockets.

Yep, that's it. A girl in our apt. building was working 5 days a week and now she works 3 days one week and 2 the next. Her salary has been cut in half and they are in danger of losing their apartment. It sucks.

On a more positive note - Mama - :goodjob: on 15 days AF. You are doing a great job!

Thanks Stirly!

You are the Queen Of Quotes! I don't know how to do more than one. My little pea brain hasn't figured it out yet!

Yes the cutbacks/layoffs are horrible. I'm just thankful I still have my job (full time), and even though we have furloughs, it could still be WORSE. At least my paychecks don't bounce (yet). LOL
