Where did you retire from?
21 in military in 94 and 20 more in fed service in 2014. Lived within my means and saved every paycheck. That’s why my wife still has an iPhone 5 and I have the original SE.
Yeah that's what I thought and just like when you were still working, there are plenty now that are the same as you were/are. There were also plenty of sh!tbags in federal service during your time as well. With that being said, I also don't disagree with your initial assessment regarding quite a few.(In all honesty, I'm thinking about hanging up the federal career and moving on)

Oh no, not that.
Who will deliver my mail to the wrong address weeks late?
Who will over regulate me?
Who will poorly manage the freebies I don't get?
Interesting they passed a bill since the last partial shutdown. Guaranteed back pay this time. I just hope the IRS finishes my dads tax return from this year. Only thing left in order to close probate from his death a year ago. According to the IRS web site they have been processing it for the past 45 days.

Time off and then back pay - sounds like a good deal to me!

Agreed, exactly how I roll. But, for those waiting for their first, 2nd, 3rd,.....or 7th stamp, the wait is a bit more challenging. But, that wait gets easier with time and the number of stamps under your belt.

wasn't something like 80+% "essential"? the whole shutdown thing is crazy. Congress hasn't had a budget for a few decades they do this reconciliation every year. They have money that was approved several years ago that they use.
The government need to be made smaller. I was hoping that with the COVID and people working from home the "need" for a lot of government workers would be less.

There are a lot of people out there that would be on welfare. So instead they created government jobs. It's kind of like welfare you don't really do anything but you get a paycheck. But at least it's kind of productive.

Pyramid-building. It's how you solve the problem of too much wealth and more people than you need.
It works for a while.
Sadly, the allocation algorithms are flawed, such that actually necessary jobs are often filled by the idiot surplus.
Not for us contractors.
Depends on the contract (i'm sure you know that, not everyone would). I've been on both sides and it really does suck for Contractors stuck in this crap. Especially when the contractors do all the work anyway and the govies just sit back a bitch or take credit.

Shutdown averted.

How did they avert the shutdown? Are they going to raise taxes on us all?
Think you're probably mixing up a continuation resolution with the debt ceiling. Separate issues to an extent.
Continuing resolution to give them more time. They’ve only had a year. C’mon man!

More than that - there hasn't been a 9/30 approval of a full FY budget since 1998. This is a repetitive dysfunction.
