I find it slightly amusing that the furloughs were “canceled” right at the end of the summer travel season. I’m guessing most federal employees were quite happy with three day weekends through the summer.

I know a person who is employed by the DOJ. Their local boss was postponing all the furlough days to be taken by his employees, to be backed off from the end of September, as he was very confident that they would be canceled by then.

My brother was enjoying his furloughs. He visited our parents for a 3-day weekend earlier this month.

Of course the sequester isn’t as bad as predicted. The US debt hasn’t increased one penny in months.

Maybe sequestration isn’t as bad as foretold, but parts of it still suck.

I’m going to Atlantic City next week where the big AIR SHOW will NOT be held.

As an Air Force vet who doesn’t live near any active bases, I rarely get to hear the beautiful sound of fighter jet noise anymore. The Atlantic City Air Show, where the birds roar just off the beach a few hundred yards from the Boardwalk, has been like a family reunion for me. I just sit there in a state of grace and bliss as the Thunderbirds hit afterburners and I feel it in my rib cage. Mmmmmm!

I know sequestration is only a chip when what we need is a massive chop, but I still hate the way Obummer has made people hurt by cutting painful things.

I've been sitting at home in Idaho and burning 32 hours a week with 8 hours leave without pay since the customer pushed the contract start date to Oct 1st. Sequestration is going to leave me with zero hours of vacation after accruing 509 hours by not taking any time off for 3 1/2 years. If the budget fight continues in Oct, it may cause my termination for lack of funding. Real nice. I'm once again reminded that companies have no loyalty to employees.
