I'm right. No federal employees now will lose pay. It's a paid vacation for them.

Bingo!!

I am a federal employee. In 2013 when they shutdown the government I was freaking out about not getting paid. We were off for 14 days. Only effect it had on my pay was that one paycheck (get paid biweekly) was for just 1 week. then the next paycheck we got paid for the 2 weeks we were off. Never lost a penny in the long run.

This time I'm not sweating a thing.. Congress can have their dick measuring contest and Ill enjoy my paid time off.
