It sucks - I just got home after being told to leave work. Been a DOD employee for 40 years and been through plenty of these - most end up being a paid vacation for me which I actually hate. I'd rather work. The real power stands with us federal workers - we should show up to work anyway - but I can't get others to join me. If Fed workers would just show up anyway the leverage of a Gov shutdown would disappear and we wouldn't be used as pawns.
