Annoying. I got shit to do at work. But I cannot work due to the shutdown.

Yet I get a paid vacation! Unless I get RIF'd.

@JoyfulSilence Be grateful that you have a job

I am.

But with my skills I'd likely find another, unless there is age discrimination. Also, I am close to retirement so maybe I could retire early. As long as there is a full pension.

A judge just temporarily blocked the RIFs, while the shutdown is still on. So now I wait.

I am a mathematician with over a quarter-century of experience. They need me more than I need them!
