There is a substantial absence of HOT AIR?
But I doubt those that provide the HOT AIR were able to 'get home'!
Sigh....

Unless your Soc. Sec Check is late, or you get your power disconnected, cause you didn't get the bill? Little things like that, can be annoying. It's not just the Feds, but area wide and local agencies.
Being a former government employee? I do know that I drove/carpooled thru some AMAZINGLY dangerous weather because I HAD TO GET THINGS DONE! A Seven hour trip home in a car pool thru snow is not my idea of fun or safety overall. And this had happened and will happen more than once.
But, when situations are soo bad that you can't GET THERE? It's hard to try, but not hard to worry about it. Most think Guv employees are uncaring and indifferent? They know what bits they do help the whole a better place. It's politics that put the kabosh on that attitude to the public, tho. But, don't get me started on Political appointees to government positions! They can or not be payoffs. Depends on the politics. Sigh again.
Yep! I'm gonna hibernate! Bye!
