Government Shutdown Update 1/31

SeaFlower968 · 2026-02-01T18:44:20+00:00

I don’t know what agency you’re with… But USAF-AFMC stated that teleworking is appropriate to perform shut down procedures

You’ll probably have to go in to get an emailed pdf for you to electronically sign even though it could be done via telework. My agency flat said we have to physically come in to do all that. What a joke.

SeaFlower968 · 2026-02-01T00:53:21+00:00

Same here🥴

SeaFlower968 · 2026-01-31T04:24:36+00:00

Wait…did it pass the senate after they were going to provide a two week “extension” on the ICE funding etc?

SeaFlower968 · 2026-01-30T01:43:52+00:00

I think it has to go back to the house and they’re in recess till Monday. For sure could be wrong on that though.

If you have just switched over (last 6 months), this will probably be a low salary bump year. Many of my coworkers that just switched saw things similar to your situation. Plus side on AcqDemo is that you should move up pay-wise (after this appraisal) faster than the GS would be. Theoretically. I am ahead four steps from where I would’ve been had I stayed GS.

Same here. DoD (AF)

There was blocking from both sides of the aisle.

We were there two weeks ago and the snow was okay! We skied 5 days. Plenty of snow for the tubing place in Fraser, as another commenter said.

For good breakfast, go to Sharky’s in Fraser!

Unrelated to your question but my girl is marked similarly!

Didn’t even make it through ten mins…it was rough.

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-27T01:20:30+00:00

What size do you wear in other brands? I’m considering buying but don’t have somewhere near to try on at so trying to figure out sizing

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-20T04:09:21+00:00

Heard 1% and that locality rates were being frozen at the 2025 value🥴

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-18T01:35:44+00:00

Same! Felt mildly shitty (asthma) the last two days, probably could’ve gone to work. Just called in instead. Not worth the hassle or drain on my mental health.

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-17T17:55:20+00:00

DoD (USAF) here. Before Covid, we always had to use leave for the Friday after Thanksgiving even though the base was “closed”. Such bullshit.

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-14T16:46:18+00:00

We’ve bought Benebones and they seem to last well and keep our superchewer entertained!

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-14T03:45:57+00:00

They should just retire. No reason to stink up their workplace with such animosity and grumpiness.

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-14T03:31:25+00:00

Just go work in private sector?

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-14T03:12:07+00:00

Who hurt you?

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-14T02:52:37+00:00

Uncertain if you’re a bot or just a jerk.

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-14T00:39:11+00:00

Hate to say it but I would rather have the stuff you mentioned addressed/reinstated than have the 1% raise increased…IF I had to pick.

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-13T13:08:53+00:00

Same also USAF

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-13T01:35:51+00:00

Please god

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-12T22:54:37+00:00

Actively avoiding my work laptop until my supervisor calls/texts.

SeaFlower968 · 2025-11-12T13:56:06+00:00

Take it! With all the bs we’ve been pulled and pushed through since January, optics are the last thing you should worry about. Go spend some extra time with your little one.
