So this year it's a little hard not to take it personally. I'm a contract specialist for the Navy's Engineering Command so September is an especially stressful and busy time of year for us. All of the Marine Corps installations that we support want to ensure their fiscal year funding is allocated prior to the end of the fiscal year so the funds are not lost. A lot of long nights, negotiations, increased work load and frantic pace is potentially going to be rewarded with unpaid time off on October 1st.
The last time we were furloughed it was only one day a pay period but it's still a pretty sizeable chunk of money that is missed when you have a mortgage and two kids.
Not a whole lot to discuss but I'd appreciate prayers that a potential shutdown is thwarted this year as there are a lot people working hard to support our military during this time.
