re: #75 Mad Al-Jaffee

No, I’m a government contractor. The announced half way was an executive order.

Well that’s certainly close enough!

We aren’t getting raises or bonuses, our insurance went up again (as it has every year for the last 4-5 years) and our vacations have been cut.

Some of that is taking advantage of the crappy economy, but what can I do. I’m still lucky to be employed.

This too shall pass.
