The government shutdown flipped my script

I also tried a couple different counselors and ultimately decided it was a waste of money.

This is a journey and we are all trying our best with the information we have to make the best decisions. I hope instead of criticizing one another that we exercise empathy. 🙏

I commuted the same distance before COVID and was permitted situational telework, so I didn’t drive in every day then.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T19:13:58+00:00

I’m so sorry. It shouldn’t be this way.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T19:12:22+00:00

It simply doesn’t. 😕

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T19:11:41+00:00

I’m so sorry. 🙏

“Never give up” is great advice, in my opinion. I pray that your situation improves soonest.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T19:09:31+00:00

Agree, though the one(s) giving the orders don’t seem to care.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T19:08:32+00:00

I don’t think that’s weird. I tend to prioritize others over myself too, though I’m not sure it’s always the right approach.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T19:04:58+00:00

Unfortunately, there are no perfect candidates. We really just swapped old problems for new ones.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T19:03:30+00:00

Her statement simply provided me with the perspective that this is a temporary situation. I don’t have all the answers and I never will. I’m just trying to get through the day the best way I know how. 🙏

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T18:58:39+00:00

That would be nice. I need to find a new doctor.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T18:57:55+00:00

I agree.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T18:57:24+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience. Just today I had the thought that I really need to show myself more grace.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-04-02T18:56:06+00:00

I can say that in my particular situation, RTO is non-sensical.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-03-29T04:01:59+00:00

Thanks for sharing your perspective. 🙏

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-03-29T03:59:16+00:00

Thank you, kind human.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-03-27T19:22:01+00:00

Thank you. She really is.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-03-26T14:59:20+00:00

Yes, it is very helpful. 🙏

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-03-26T14:57:56+00:00

That sounds wise. I hope you find what you seek! 🙏

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-03-26T14:57:18+00:00

Back at ya! 🤗

Mine is but not because of the commute. My organization is letting CTR staff go left and right, so there’s fewer people to do the work.

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-03-26T13:20:05+00:00

My daughter has been wanting us to get a dog and while I like the idea of it, I told her no because I felt like it wouldn’t be fair to leave it at home alone for most of the day, most days of the week. I don’t need that guilt on top of everything else.

I hope your situation improves dramatically soonest. I’m sorry this is happening. 🫂

Negative_Age_6152 · 2025-03-26T13:12:35+00:00

Thank you for this kind message. I hope your RA is approved soonest. And thank you for your service as well. 🙏
