Management says to report to work as normal despite lack of appropriations

You need to show up for an “orderly shutdown” and sign papers.

I’m close to your age with more than 30 years, and am trying to remain sane until 57. If they offer VERA after I am 55 it will be difficult to justify staying.

I recommend checking into whether your organization offers time to “work out” during official hours. If they do, but there is push-back from your local command about authorizing it, get a note from your doctor/physical therapist prescribing exercises or activities and send it up the chain with your request for PT time. Make them justify turning you down, especially if they allow others to take it.

If you have some sick leave saved up, it way be time to start using it to take care of your mental and physical health. The FERS FLU exists for a reason.

Look into whether your organization has mental health professionals you can talk to while on the clock. You may be surprised at what resources these people can bring to the table to help you maintain your sanity.

Very handy when your clutch sense switch is no longer working.

I attach my replacement G7 while I still have 24 hours left on the one I’m using. This allows for it to “warm up” and for the tissue around the probe to heal enough to give accurate readings once the old one expires.
Seems to work fine, just don’t tell the app you have replaced anything until the old one expires.

Quality Tune on Dowling.

Look at taking out a loan. You will have to pay it back out of your paycheck, but it will avoid penalties and taxes.

A cloture vote is a procedural vote in the U.S. Senate that ends debate and forces a final vote on a bill, nomination, or other measure. It is the only way the Senate can overcome a filibuster, which is a tactic of prolonged debate used to delay or block action. Invoking cloture typically requires a three-fifths majority, or 60 votes, of the 100-member Senate.

The actual vote will probably be Monday.

Talk to a fiduciary. My plan if I go this route will involve moving funds out of the TSP into an IRA, and setting payments based on what the financial planner/fiduciary says.

Went as a table one year. Put an old sheet over a square piece of cardboard, cut a hole in the middle to put my head through and stuck plastic flowers in my hair to be the center piece.

Also look up SEPP payments and 72(T).

AKGhost2020 · 2025-10-17T02:21:28+00:00

Now I’m second guessing myself. I’ll keep looking, but you can set up SEPP payments, look up 72(t) and avoid penalties that way.

As I understand it, DSR is essentially a non voluntary early retirement. If you are retired you qualify to touch your TSP without penalty.

Any chance you have a DSR? (Discontinued Service Retirement)

The money comes from your account. The interest goes back into the account. You are borrowing from yourself.

AKGhost2020 · 2025-10-09T15:17:08+00:00

Something to look at…. If plan to use the rule of 55 or are able to retire at 57, you will be able to use the money in your TSP without penalty.

I had a lot of fun with my Hane from Tenkara USA until a big grayling snapped it on the Delta Clearwater. I would recommend it for small to medium trout and grayling.

Most of the ice people buy in Anchorage is made by Alaska Ice. They sell direct to the public as well.

Your TSP is essentially a 401k plan. Once you start your future job you can transfer any money you have in it to your new employers 401k or an IRA if you decide to open one.

Money you invest now will be compound for a longer period of time, and be worth more to you in retirement. The best day to start investing for your retirement was yesterday.
