I live in a DC suburb (lots of federal workers and contractors), and people around me are panicked. My family will not be immediately in trouble, but some of my neighbors may be. Weird atmosphere around here today.
Yes and so annoyed. Had already lost pay when furloughed the last time. And not repayed either.

I'm with you, @tinkerbellandeeyor.I know military is and I feel so angry about that
I will be furloughed.
While anything is possible these days, history has shown that both military and civilians are retroactively paid once a budget or continuing resolution is passed. I realize that Congress must vote to approve that so it's not a given, but I'm hoping that precedence is followed.
Unless something happens tonight or tomorrow, my instructions are to show up Monday morning to sign my furlough letter.
It's so crazy that neither side can give an inch.
What's really crazy is that many of those making these decisions will get their paychecks regardless...
